@AtomicEmperor I mean...he's gotta bring something juicy to the table regarding her kid for her to take him off the list. She won't be easy to make happy either.

Adjoined - The Tantalizing Mist.Pink is Adjoined to Deniza, a mysterious and silent Apparition, which she says also conveniently found her around the time Violet adjoined to Lightning Girl! This Apparition allows Pink to use her Abstraction by Proxy, which is the ability to generate a bright pink, sparkling mist. This mist can be manipulated by Pink telekinetically and, if inhaled, has a unique effect: it induces illusions/hallucinations of what the person desires the most. These illusions will be incredibly realistic and convincing, being able to manipulate all five senses and can be interacted with as if they were actual. As long as they are in her mist, the illusion will persist; however, they can break the trance if they can tell that it's just an illusion (or know about Pink's abstraction). Pink herself is immune to the effects of the mist, and by focusing on someone in her mist, she can see and interact with the illusion much like they do - confusing them further. This Abstraction bypasses all Emotional-Fields long as it's inhaled.

Amy.Nakamura | |
---|---|
24 | Amy Nakamura | She/Her "If the first hit doesn't take you out; the second one will. And if the second one doesn't; you’ll wish the first one did." | Description: Called Amy by Americans, but known as Aiko by Kura. She is a second-generation Japanese immigrant who was born in Honolulu, Hawaii. She grew up with other siblings that her parents thought were better than her, and they neglected her needs, which was unsuitable for the girl's development. She grew up being rebellious and acting out in any way she could, which led to her spending many afternoons in detention or suspended. However, the Nakamura family moved to St. Portwell as a teenager, and she came across a mysterious kanabō ... and it spoke to her when she touched it. It was very spooky, but Amy kept it hidden underneath her bed of weird interest in it, realizing that the supernatural was real. Eventually, she met Kura Yoshida, and the two became best friends. The two became far closer when the Stygian Snake attacked, and they were forced to fight for their lives. However, they were saved by the Sycamore Tree Coven, and eventually, the two joined. Amy grabbed the kanabō, then gained the powers of the Oni and used them against the Stygian Snake, being there when the thing was defeated and sealed into a tree. However, Kura returned to Japan afterward. Amy remained in America, keeping in touch with Kura, and became an MMA fighter as a Strawweight fighter afterward. However, she went missing after Father Wolf murdered Kura, and when she returned she immediately joined the 8th Street Coven for mysterious reasons (She claims is to get a shot at the bastard that killed her friend). Amy is very short at five feet even and is very athletically fit, with muscles she forged by years of going to the gym. Abstraction: Agent - The Oni's Club. In ancient Japan, three powerful Apparitions that called themselves Onis were defeated by old Oni-Kariudo (Demon Hunters) and sealed inside a kanabō. The Nakamura family kept this kanabō until modern times when it was merely a family heirloom... however, this family heirloom grants whoever's holding it their power. Empowered by the Club, Amy possesses superhuman strength and durability that allows her to toss someone effortlessly, flip over a car with one hand, and tank supernatural attacks. The kanabō itself is supernaturally durable, allowing Amy to unleash devastating attacks without fear of damaging the weapon. In addition, it grants her tactile pyrokinesis, enabling her to generate fire only at the touch range. She channels this pyromancy into her strikes, which can inflict severe burns. However, as Amy fights, the Onis can exert their influence upon Amy and thus channel more power into her. They fuel her rage, and eventually, she will go utterly berserk, turning into a rampaging beast that can be (vaguely) directed at a target (and the ones close to it). The longer Amy fights, the more powerful she becomes; her strength, durability, and pyrokinesis will increase to exponential levels as her pain will be numbed, and she'll be able to ignore her injuries as she fights. It is unknown if there is any limit to how strong she can become. However, there's only so long she can be berserk, and eventually, her body will give out as she collapses due to exhaustion. |
Phoebe.Carmicheal | |
29 | Phoebe Tatiana Carmichael | She/Her. "I'll never let myself get outstaged again." | Description: A native of Los Angeles, Phoebe grew up in an upper-middle-class environment, and she was the resented daughter of her father. You see, her father, Ian Carmicheal, isn't her actual father, and she was the product of an affair between her mother and her partner. Her father knew this, resented Phoebe, and treated her as the black sheep of her family - and mistreated her at every opportunity. Which made the girl feel like trash, and she, throughout her life, tried her best to rise out of it and become great. Throughout school, she was the Queen Bee, tried to be the best at soccer and basketball, best at arts... and yet, in the end, it didn't make her feel any better. Though Phoebe wanted to be home and play video games, her home was where the hatred was. The second Phoebe graduated high school; she was shunted away to college in St. Portwell, which was for the best as it allowed the woman to slow down and find herself. She quickly learned to love being by herself and was usually stuck in her dorm room playing video games - which was an escape to her - where she was underestimated due to her race and gender often. Despite her more reclusive nature, however, she was drawn to being a performer, and as a hobby, she became a streamer who kept her identity a secret known as "Juicy-Fruit," a masked gamer. It started as a hobby she did on the side that gradually grew bigger and bigger due to her skill, confidence, and ability to put on a larger-than-life performance on stream... until she came out and unmasked herself. Some people turned their back on her, others became far more supportive of her, and Phoebe, as Juicy-Fruit, was always a divisive figure in the community due to her over-the-top ego. She eventually reached fame and fortune in which she could support herself full time off the streaming and dropped the whole college BS, went no-contact with her family, and got her apartment. Things were good; despite getting into numerous controversies, she rivaled a rising star, Kimberly Walton. Kimberly was a superstar who gained fame off being a "Ghost Hunter" who went around the country fighting monsters and ghosts, and Phoebe made sure to hate on her whenever she got the chance. After all, Kimberly boasted that magic was real; that mere notion made Phoebe laugh. However, Phoebe received a crash course in magic when, one day, she was pursued by a man-eating monster that broke into her apartment. She was in the middle of streaming, and if one of her viewers hadn't pointed it out, she would have been a hashtag herself! Phoebe was chased out of her apartment into the cold streets of St. Portwell, where she was cornered by the monster in an empty park... the experience made her undergo her Kindling Event. However, Kimberly Walton conveniently appeared and killed the monster - letting her know that she was the one in her stream that got her to turn around. Phoebe was confused as Kimberly quickly explained magic to Phoebe, then disappeared. For a few weeks, Phoebe went off-grid, and chased after Kimberly, desperately trying to learn about any magic but getting the cold shoulder by the girl. After Kimberly left St. Portwell, Phoebe naturally went to the internet and chased any lead she could... however, Emily. G. Reed personally reached out to her. Phoebe was talked into a personal meeting with 8th Street Coven's leadership and wanted to learn about magic. Magic was new and exciting to Phoebe, and she would rather be out fighting monsters than sitting at a computer table talking to Simps. Phoebe is quick to be sarcastic and point out the holes in her leadership's plans. Phoebe is a half-African-American (with some Caribbean), a half-Korean woman who is tall and bony (at five-eleven) with notably dyed green and yellow dreadlocks. She isn't aware of this, but James Carmicheal is her cousin. Abstraction: Adept - Red & Green Lux. Channeler: Her necklace. Ice Bitch: Cryomancy: Phoebe's main spell that allows her to create and manipulate ice at will. With focused thought, she can conjure intricate ice constructs, form icy barriers, or craft deadly projectiles to hurl at her foes. Her cryokinetic abilities allow her to shape ice into various forms, making her a dangerous and versatile fighter. Ice-Blast: Phoebe can create freezing blasts of cold energy in various forms (beams, orbs, etc.). These blasts freeze objects upon contact and encase them in a layer of ice. Chill: Phoebe can immediately lower the temperature of an area of her choice, either by a few degrees or to absolute zero. Due to her immunity to cold, she can function just fine in these pockets of cold. Ice Form: Phoebe can selectively or fully transform her body into solid ice. In this form, her body will be anatomically the same as her human form. Except her flesh and bones will be made out of ice - her organs will still be visible through the ice - and she will be absolute zero. In this form, Phoebe can manipulate her body shape and transform her hands into blades/maces/etc, and she'll be very durable. However, she'll be very slow and have a hard time maneuvering. Ice-Regeneration: Phoebe has developed a spell in which she can absorb liquids (well, liquids that can freeze), shift them into her Ice-Form, and heal the wounds. Through this method, she can regenerate from otherwise fatal wounds in mere moments. |

Depends on the delivery, but considering she don't trust him, yeah he's fucked. Lol
But nothing beats a failure, but a try.
Caelea.Baird | |||||||||||||||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
26 | Caelea Muireann Baird | She/Her "Call me cute one more time and I’ll fuck you up so badly you’ll regret being born." | Description: Caelea is someone who’s known violence her whole life. A mistake born nearly ten years after her older brother in St. Portwell, Caelea was just another mouth to feed in a poor family. She spent her early years experiencing her mom’s heavy mood swings before she ultimately abandoned them when Caelea was five, leaving her dad to support both kids while blaming her for it. She was neglected at best, beaten more often than not over the smallest of things. From a young age she spent her time on the streets - tussling with other kids and learning how to fight (and how to fight dirty). Her only solace was school gymnastics classes, and the ones she was able to attend with money she stole. Caelea was relatively young when she kindled - a fight that went wrong with a much larger boy at twelve resulting in her blasting him across the street with air. From there she only used her abstraction to fight more, and to beat every piece of shit that thought she made fun of her and thought she was weak. She no longer had to take any shit from her dad, either, because he couldn’t win against her anymore. In school Caelea was viewed as a bully - which she was, but she wasn’t the typical kind picking on nerds and the like. That was boring. Instead she beat up all the boys that thought they were superior just cause of what they had in their pants, showing them that they weren’t all that great. It was this fighting that led to her making one friend - Hagan Rosefey. Then the Stygian Snake attacked. At first, Caelea ignored it, beyond finding off the apparitions she came across. She couldn’t care less that other people were dying. But then Hagan was nearly enthralled by it, and was dragged into the Sycamore Tree Coven. It seemed like a fun way to kill time and avoid being at home. Caelea wasn’t well liked in the coven - she was abrasive, standoffish, and a general asshole to everyone else. She started fights with other members almost every day. So when the Stygian Snake was beaten, Caelea was voted (and chased) out near immediately when she violently fought with multiple members. Quite simply not giving a fuck, Caelea went back to her normal life - skipping school, occasionally attending gymnastic classes and beating people up on the street. Eventually this progressed to a ‘career’ of beating people up for money - first essentially mugging, then for tiny groups in St Portwell. The criminal underworld of St. Portwell was a tough place for a woman to be, but with her abstraction Caelea didn’t lose fights to the Blind and just thrashed anyone who tried something on her. Eventually she joined the Wolf Pack… practically fighting her way in after a confrontation between the group she was with, and the Wolf Pack. Jumping ship was aided by Hagan’s presence in the Wolf Pack. She has been operating in the most violent capacity she can in the group since. Caelea is tiny at four-eleven with a slight build. She has longer blond hair often tied back, very pale skin and light blue eyes. She’s incredibly flexible thanks to years of gymnastics used to aid her fighting. She often gets mistaken for a child - something that pisses her off to no end. Her appearance may be cute, but her personality is far from it. Caelea is incredibly cold towards other people, caring about very few of them, and harsh. She solves things with her fists and is aggressive to the point of brutality. Abstraction: Adept - Red & Purple Lux. Channeler: worn hand wraps Air Blast: Caelea’s primary spell, she controls air to create powerful blasts of air out of her hands or feet. This has the range of about a foot, but is honed to a high level of power, allowing her to knock over almost any object or person while also causing a lot of damage. Air Strike: Caelea’s primary spell in fights with the Blind, where she uses air to enhance her strikes by using the air in a field around whatever she uses to attack. This makes her strikes hit much harder, while not appearing much different than normal. This is combined with her Purple-Lux to make her air enhanced attacks super fast, while also being incredibly hard hitting. Fly: using a combination of her Purple and Red lux, Caelea can launch herself around using air blasts combined with purple lux enhanced movement. This allows her to practically fly through the sky (without actually traditionally flying), get up to places she normally couldn’t, and travel around a battlefield incredibly quickly. It makes her very manoeuvrable and near impossible to pin down. Crush: Caelea uses her Red and Purple lux to put a large amount of pressure on one person, essentially trying to crush them with an incredibly heavy weight of compressed air combined with telekinetic weight. Air Burst: Caelea forms a dense shield of air around her and, combined with telekinesis, launches it outwards. This knocks back any objects (and people) coming towards her - being able to stop and propel back even bullets. Breathlessness: An incredibly brutal spell, and one she doesn’t use often, Caelea can suck the air out of a tiny area around someone’s head to create a vacuum that will cause suffocation. She has to be close to the target to do this, and it has similar effects on her, making it something she only uses if really needed. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Rien.Driessan | |||||||||||||||||||||
25 | Marijn “Rien” Elian Driessan | They/Them "If you're looking for someone who cares, keeping looking. You won't find that here." | Description: Born and raised in the Netherlands, Rien spent their early childhood shifting between foster homes along with their twin sister, Katja. As a result the two were incredibly close - they were practically all they had. Things got easier when they were adopted at ten. Both were incredibly artistic, with Rien leaning towards painting and Katja towards music. But as they both got older Katja got more sickly, before being diagnosed with a terminal, degenerative illness. At fifteen, just a few weeks after their birthday, she passed away. This caused Rien’s kindling event - suddenly they’d lost the only person that mattered to them, and were thrown into a world of magic they hadn’t known about. Using their black lux Rien desperately tried to find some kind of remnant of Katja… but she’d moved on. A year later, their adoptive parents decided it would be best to get a fresh start, and moved to St. Portwell, USA (just a year after the Stygian Snake’s rampage). While studying art at university, Rien joined 317. It was a place were they found some solace and understanding. However Rien is generally a detached and uncaring individual, fearing growing attached and losing someone again. They take carefree to the extreme, to the point of seeming to not care about anything. Rien is five-four with dyed hair and multiple piercings. They also have various tattoos - most importantly to them, a treble clef on their chest (above their heart) that curls into a K. Rien acts as 317’s sealer, when the need arises… and when they’re not getting high. Abstraction: Adept - Black & Gold Lux. Channeler: an old, fraying friendship bracelet. Rien is a Black and Gold Lux adept who primarily specialises in trapping and sealing Apparitions in paintings, before summoning them back out of the paintings. They have four primary spells. Seek: Rien can use their painting to hunt down nearby Apparitions. They essentially channel their black lux as they paint, pointing them towards any Apparitions in the nearby area. Enrapture: Using their black lux, Rien is able to manipulate Apparitions to make them easier to seal. They use the painting they plan to seal the Apparition into for this, luring them towards it and forcing them to be enthralled by it. Trap: Using their paintings and black lux, Rien has a much easier time sealing Apparitions. This spell enhances their sealing, making it much more likely to succeed. It reduces the size of sigil needed for sealing, allowing them to use smaller canvas even for powerful apparitions. Pull: Rien pulls a sealed apparition out of the canvas they sealed it in. Using a combination of their Gold and Black lux they’re able to control it to do their bidding. Once they’re done with it, they can easily put it back inside the canvas. They can only summon two apparitions at a time, and to summon another after that they must put one of the active ones back in a painting. Some of the most notable Apparitions that Rien has in their collection of sealed paintings.

"She stopped me from getting mobbed by a bunch of cultists, that counts for something." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | x years ago… ”What? Why the fuck are you asking about Britney? Fucking hell, its been years.” ”I contacted her today.” ”... So? Why the fuck would I care?” ”Because you got pissy that I contacted Sloane, Qian-er. I don’t want to deal with that again.” ”Fuck off, Jinhai, I barely know Britney! Talk to her, don’t talk to her, I don’t care. You’re close, you like her, you think she’s oh so smart even after all she fucking did. I don’t care. Don’t talk like I’m fucking controlling or anything.” ”Well, you did-” ”Nope, stop right there. I have no opinions about her, okay? Happy. Let’s end this fucking conversation.” current day… ”It’s funny, Hai-er, but I think that me and Britney might be starting to become friends… Strange how things work, isn’t it? She’s helped me a few times now… And I’m confident she’ll have my back. I’ll have hers, too, and not just because of the whole… situation with Greyson. I like her. I can see why you were friends. I really do. I’m glad that we’re growing closer. I still don’t entirely trust her, but who do I fucking trust? Not a lot of people. I do get the feeling she looks down on me… but that’s fine. She’s probably right to. In what world do I live up to you? I’ll accept being the inferior version, always.” |
Drake.Blackmore | |
"He realllyyy hated Jinhai, but we got on so well I had to ignore it." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | x years ago… ”What’s the occasion?” ”Huh? I’m not just allowed to crack open a fucking beer without it being for something?” ”... It’s a Wednesday night.” ”Fucking- stop with the judgement. I was just remembering shit, okay. All those parties we used to have with the coven… Made me want a beer. Shit isn’t as interesting here, though. There used to be all sorts of shit to watch- like whenever Drake would get smashed and start fights. Fuck, I remember one time when he was going on a proper rampage against anyone who pissed him off.” ”We remember that very differently. I was one of the people he was pissed off at.” ”... Yeah, that was why it was so fun to watch.” current day… ”Drake hasn’t changed. You wouldn’t be surprised. Bet you would be all snobby about him punching Sloane in the face, saying something about how ‘you always knew he was the type to hit women.’ I think she fucking deserved it, fucking bitch… But I get it. He hated you, like I hated Victoria, and you didn’t like him. But he’s my friend, whatever you think. Thought. Fuck. He’s lost someone too. Jade was… well, I imagine he’s feeling the same as me. His future, gone. Fucking suck. But we’ll make him pay. I swear, we’ll fuck him so hard with a lightning dildo that he’ll wish we’d killed him right away.” |
Luca.Oliviera | |
"Who?" _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | x years ago… ”Do you remember Luca?” ”Who?” ”That answers my question, then.” ”Oh fuck off, Jinhai, who the fuck is Luca?” ”One of Britney’s victims. Quite curious, actually, what he was adjoined with. Could rot near anything away. Would solve a fair few problems we have with plastic waste… Perhaps I should see if I can get in contact with him.” ”... you know what, I don’t care.” |
Sloane.Faris | |
"Well, she still has a massive stick up her ass." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | days before Jinhai’s death… ”I think that Sloane has something important to tell me. Her texts have been a bit odd lately.” ”So? Why the fuck would I care?” ”Oh, I can’t talk to you about my concerns? Why don’t I go talk to someone else, then, like Anya-” ”Fuck no, you promised you wouldn’t contact that bitch…its been ten fucking years. Alright. What’re you so concerned about?” ”It’s just interesting. Maybe it's about the murders, or all those artifacts she’s been hoarding.” ”Hahaha, that’s boring shit, why wouldn’t she just come out with it? Maybe- maybe she’s going to fucking confess to you. Imagine that, emotionless Sloane having fucking feelings!” ”You might be onto something... It’s not a surprise, with looks and brains like mine. Anyone would want to date me. So many did during college, it was a real pain to turn them all down.” ”Oh shut up, there’s no fucking way. It's been ten years- and even if she did, you wouldn’t say yes, would you? Fuck, have some standards, Jinhai.” current day… ”You know who else hasn’t changed? Sloane. She’s still just as stuck up as she was ten years ago. With that fucking boring expression and constant judgments. The other day, she told me that I had to take responsibility for how fucked up my life was. Hah. I’d like to see her live a day in my shoes, do a day of actual fucking work. But you know what? She backed off when I said you’re- you’re- well, you know. She offered to pay for the funeral. I accepted, because it’s not about me. It’s about you. Giving you the goodbye you deserve the… fuck. I don’t want to. I’m glad that even though she’s the worst, she values your friendship. Most of your other friends didn’t, fucking assholes. I still don’t like Sloane, but she’s slightly less shit. It is still so fucking hard to not slap her. You aren’t even here to stop me, but I’ve fucking managed it- better than Drake, hah. But she needs to fucking watch herself… because I can only hold myself back so much.” Linqian really didn’t get on with Sloane, and that hasn’t changed. She did try to get on with her ten years ago, because Jinhai did, but she just couldn’t. Sloane was stuck up, ruined everything fun with her permanently dead facial expressions and dished out constant critiques towards Linqian and many others. The arguments between the two of them were some of the fiercest, because Sloane was a constant fucking inconvenience to Linqian’s life. She seemed to take issue with Linqian just existing, and Linqian took great issue with her attitude. A fair few times it almost devolved into a physical fight (on Linqian’s half, at least), and the only thing that stopped it was Jinhai physically dragging her away. |
Tayla.Choi | |
"Hey, want to grab another drink? Just us this time, I promise." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | current day… ”Fuck, Tayla’s changed a lot. You’d hardly recognise her. She’s been through some shit… I don’t know the half of it, but I can see why she’s fucked up if what Greyson brought up is part of it. She even has a kid now- he’s super cute, honestly, made me miss when Yi-er wasn’t a fucking nightmare. We’re similar, cause we’ve got a lot to fucking protect and we’ve lost so much shit… I feel bad for taking Greyson’s side, sorta, when shit happened. I mean, he was just being his normal dickish self and she tried to fucking smash a bottle over his head. Fucking hell, it was bad… Hopefully that shit just blows over. Course I’ll choose Greyson- he’s my friend and fucking paying me- but I don’t want Tayla to get hurt. Her kid doesn’t deserve that… she doesn’t deserve that. I’ll make sure she survives, if I can.” |
"Edict".Devola | |
"How the fuck does he keep pulling out more stacks of cash from his pockets." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | 10 years ago, post leaving the coven… ”What the fuck is this?” ”An agreement that you won’t contact Greyson now that we’ve left Sycamore.” ”Are you fucking with me? You wrote a whole legal agreement shit- I already agreed not to, can’t you take my word for it? Fucking hell- what is your fucking problem with Greyson? I get that you hate him, but this shit is going too far, Jinhai. He’s not even that bad!” ”And that’s the fucking problem, Linqian. You don’t think he’s that bad. He’s a criminal who can get inside your mind. But you just see him as some fun friend - one that you can hook up with now that Bianca’s out of the picture.” ”Keep Bianca fucking out of this, Jinhai.” ”I’m not wrong. I’m being pretty reasonable, letting you keep in contact with people almost as bad. But Greyson- Greyson’s a dangerous creep. I don’t want you around him.” ”’Let me’? You’ll let me, will you? Just like I let you be around Sloane and Anya and all those other fake bitches- I’m not stupid. I know what he’s like. Why the fuck would I even sign this?” ”Perhaps I’ll finally ask Anya out for dinner like I was considering… I’m sure you’d love to have her in your life more, right, Meimei? Or, I never see her again.” ”Knock it off with the ‘meimei’ shit, you ass, I’m minutes younger… Fine. Fine! You don’t see Anya, I don’t see Greyson. None of that shit you’re worried about would happen, but whatever. Even if I wanted to, I don’t have the fucking time to see him right now… And you’re wasting my precious time off with this shit. Just give me the pen.” current day… ”If you were here, you’d be so fucking pissed at me. I mean, if you were here this wouldn’t even be happening… Haha. I’m hanging around Greyson again. Well, more than that- yes we finally fucked, I can tell you’re judging from up there, fuck off, Jinhai- but I’m also working for him. Look. I need the money, he has the money. No, I don’t fucking trust him completely. But he’s my friend as well as my boss, technically. Would’ve still been all these years if you hadn’t fucking- well, whatever. He can take all the shit I throw and throw it back. I like that. It’s not fun being around people who just get upset when I’m a bit mean to them, or get pissy over all the little shit. He gives back as good as he gets, y’know? I can actually fucking relax a bit around him, which I need. I feel a little more like someone with their own fucking life when we hang out… I can forget about all the shit responsibilities a bit even without letting him in my brain. Sure, he’s a dick, but so am I. You know how many people can put up with me? It’s not fucking many. And he’s good company. You’re not here to stop me anyway. But don’t worry. I’ll keep him away from Yi-er.” |
Jack.Hawthorne | |
"Another one that got on better with my brother than me." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | 10 years ago ”I can’t believe he actually did it. He’s insane.” ”Huh, who?” ”Jack. He went into the Void… he’s basically throwing his life away.” ”Oh yeah, that’s fucked- what’s the void again?” ”... It’s a space outside of reality, between different universes. Filled with horrors that make the apparitions we fought look tame. Going into it is an awful idea. It’s suicidal.” ”So we won’t see him again? Oh well… he was fucking edgy anyway. I don’t know why you’re so bothered by it, he chose to do it. Let him die in the fucking Void or whatever.” ”Do I look bothered? I just think he’s out of his mind, but if he dies, well…” ”His own fucking fault, right?” ”Exactly” current day… ”Jack’s still edgy as shit, but he’s more tolerable now. That’s growth for you- which one of us grew, who knows. Also he made it back from the Void! I know you were fucking convinced he’d died... But he did it. Survived and all that. He’s going around checking on us daily and shit. We still don't have a lot in common, and he’s friends with Sloane and Anya but… I don’t care as long as he helps me kill the fucker the killed you.” |
"Sully".McPherson | |
"If I missed anything about the coven, it was the beer Sully provided. Well, Sully too." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | x years ago ”You know who I miss from the Coven? Sully. Fuck, that free beer… Shit’s so expensive.” ”You got these for free from work, didn’t you?” ”Yeah but its like piss water- fucking flavourless, barely any alcohol… I want the good shit, but we can’t fucking afford it! Didn’t have to worry about that with Sully around. I can’t believe we could drink more easily as teens… fuck.” ”Yeah, shit was pretty wild then… But at least Sully was there to stop you killing anyone when drunk.” ”I never tried to kill anyone- punch them, yeah, but I didn’t try fucking murder.” ”But you might have if Sully wasn’t there to stop you when I couldn’t, right? Hey, hey, stop heating up, you really can’t take a joke anymore, Qian-er. You’ll ruin your beer… Look, I’ll get you a nice one with my next paycheck, alright?” current day… ”Fucking hell, I haven’t had the chance to talk to Sully cause shit keeps happening. First, we all got shot- I was seriously considering risking my life for that guy, cause he was in a bad spot… But then, next time I see him he throws a fucking toga in my face! You should’ve seen it, a whole fucking toga conga line. It was embarrassing as hell- and Sully tried to throw me right in the middle of it. With, guess who, Vashti fucking Nour! She’s kinda- no, fuck, I’m not talking to you about that shit. When there’s the chance, I need to drag him out for a drink and actually catch up… not fucking togas or conga lines, just a shit ton of free booze. I’ve fucking missed that.“ |

"As long as he keeps his wolf form and his cult away from me, we’re good." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | current day… ”Hai-er, you might really judge me for saying this… but… I just can’t keep it from you… Leon’s mom is really fucking hot. Soooo fucking hot, I almost joined their cult- that’s a joke, I’d never join a fucking cult. Did you know Leon’s family ran one? Of course not, you would’ve told me… it was fucking weird. Makes me want to be around Leon even less. At least he replaced the car he destroyed! I’ll be fucking civil, because he’s strong which we need… if only he wasn’t such a stuck up asshole. Fuck, I think he’s worse from before. He fucking lectured me over shouting at him- yeah, I know, gotta work on my temper, fuck off- as if he hadn’t just nearly crushed my car. With how his mom is no wonder he feels so fucking superior- that cult gave weird vibes. I ain’t going near that again.” |
Stormy.Carson | |
"Not sure I can talk to a college professor." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | x years ago ”Ah, Qian-er, before I forget - do you want to sign this card I got?” ”Huh? What’s the occasion?” ”Stormy just became a Professor. It’s quite a competitive role, you know. I figured it would be a nice gesture to send him a congratulations card. He did so much for us all, after all.” ”Fuck off, you just want to stay in his good books in case there’s something else like the Stygian Snake so you can hide behind his shields.” ”You know I never got close enough to the fight to need his shields.” ”Course you fucking didn’t… but don’t think I can’t see you, Han Jinhai. You can’t hide your shit from me.” ”Think whatever you want, Meimei. Are you signing or not?” ”... Sign for me. My handwriting’s awful.” current day… ”Stormy’s still the same, I think. I didn’t really know him that well. He absolutely went for Britney when he first arrived, which fucking hell… not the time. But he’s still doing all he can to protect us, I guess. His shields certainly haven’t changed! But fuck, he’s too smart for me. I’m sure you guys would get along more now… Well, he’s fine.” |
Anya.Baksh | |
"She won’t feel superior when I burn her face off." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | x years ago ”Hai-er, be honest with me, you’re still in touch with Anya, aren’t you?” ”No. I signed the same contract you did, do you really think I’d break it? Here, check my phone if you want to be sure.” ”I know there won’t be anything fucking there- in dreams! You can talk in fucking dreams!” ”We don’t… What brought this on? It’s been years.” ”Because my dreams have been fucked recently, and I can tell she’s fucking taunting me. It’s shit with you and Yi-er- fuck she was in them once too! It was a fucking nightmare! I hadn’t even thought about how she could just jump in them, and how you could be getting around that fucking contract you made me sign… which i still think is fucking ridiculous, you could’ve trusted me, but fuck- You really aren’t? If I find out she’s in your dreams, I swear, I’ll fucking end both of you.” ”I’m really not, I swear. Trust me.” current day… ”Fuck, I was so happy when Anya didn’t turn up to the first meeting… but then she fucking turned up to the second one! Dealing with Sloane was bad enough, but both of them? Fuck, I hate her so much. She’s so much fucking worse than Sloane- at least Sloane argues with me. Anya just fucking ignores me. She treats me like I’m nothing. I can’t believe you were friends with her. At least Sloane is doing something for that. But Anya? She’s done fuck all. Hasn’t said a word to me, that bitch.” |
Evelynn.Serenelight | |
"Fucking bitch." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | current day… ”I can’t- I fucking can’t. It’s so fucking hard to say to you, fuck… Evelynn, that fucking bitch, I hate her guts. She said- fuck- she said that I deserved to lose you… That you deserved to fucking die. You didn’t deserve it. Fuck, maybe I deserve the worst, but you don’t. You should still be fucking alive- I fucking hate her. She’s the fucking worst, the next time I see her I’m going to make her wish she was dead. She’ll be in so much pain that she won’t be able to move, all she’ll be able to do is beg for me to put her out of her misery and I fucking won’t. I’ll make her regret it. Fuck, I can’t believe she said that… I hate her. I hate her so fucking much. You didn’t deserve it. If anyone deserved it, it was me. I don’t care what people say about me, but you? You were fucking everything… But she used you to hurt me. She fucking trampled all over your memory. I’m barely fucking holding on, Ge. I think I might fucking kill her… And I wouldn’t regret it. She’d deserve it. Fuck…” |
Lila.Blackwood | |
"Shit, she’s changed!" _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | current day… ”You know who’s grown a fucking backbone? Lila! Uh- you know, kid with the crows. I’m not an asshole, I won’t use her old name. Fuck, she’s changed so much… She was one of the only ones with the balls to tell Meifeng to go fuck herself. The PRA leader- absolute bitch. There’s a shit ton more crows now, though… I sure hope they don’t shit on me. I don’t have the time to clean the shit out.” |
Jasper.Wilde | |
"Man, anyone can tell you have the hots for Luca. Don’t deny it." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | x years ago ”Ohhhh shit! Jasper’s got a proper exhibition now! With some fucking, I dunno, art gallery in St Portwell? I don’t fucking know- but it looks cool.” ”Let me see- oh, you’re right. The art they’ve chosen has quite the melancholic feel to it… The tragic artist, I suppose. Have you been in touch with him lately?” ”No- and I don’t understand any of that shit. Art is art, all I see is some fucking cool colours. You smart types can talk about that shit without involving me. Maybe I should text him, it’s been a while… He was always so chill. I miss bitching about Sloane with him, cause you won’t fucking do it with me.” ”You’ve never tried. There’s plenty about Sloane I could bitch about, even if we’re friends. But if you want hatred… You’ll have to go to Jasper.” ”Heh, yeah, he really goes above and beyond with that! Fuck, some of the things he said… When I get time I’ll shoot him a text.” |
Adora.Phoenix-Prescott | |
"You’re not special because you lost something. The rest of us just had to get on with it because we didn’t have any choice." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | current day… ”Adora came back, what a fucking surprise. I thought she’d be hiding away somewhere, cause we all bring back bad memories or something… Whatever. I’m willing to put it all to the side. Sure, we fought all the fucking time before, because she was a judgmental bitch. When she called you a coward… Fuck, I was ready to burn her skin off. But as long as she doesn’t act like that, I’ll be civil. We both got bigger fucking problems to deal with. I don’t have time to deal with her problems, because I’ve lost you… Fuck, at least I’m not making it everyone else’s problem, too.” |
Layla.Hyacinthus | |
"She’s fucking latched onto me now, hasn’t she?" _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | current day… ”That little asshole, Yi-er, tried to teach Layla to say Jiejie when we were partying… If you heard how she was saying it you’d hate it just as much as I do. She butchers it so badly… I don’t even want to be around her. She’s annoying and whiney, but she’s latched onto Britney and Greyson is doing some mind shit on her so now I’m also stuck with her. So got really fucking clingy, too, what if she’s attached? I don’t have the energy to deal with another young adult, especially if she wants support. I can’t deal with that shit right now.” |
Clancy.Patrick | |
"Wasn’t this kid shot?!" _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | current day… ”You’re not going to fucking believe this, Hai-er… Ashley had a cousin! He’s like, ten or something! Cute little kid if you ignore him surviving being shot… But fuck, I’m not sure how to feel about a kid hanging around with us. We’re not exactly good influences. Eh, he seemed like he could handle himself. I’m sure it’ll be fine.” |
Kenshiro.Murakin | |
"" _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | 10 years ago, during the coven… ”I think Kenshiro’s starting to get used to America more…” ”Course he is! I’ve been doing my fucking hardest to help him with the culture differences… I took him out for some proper, shit fast food burgers yesterday. Dunno how they’re still running with the Stygian Snake destroying the place.” ”Heh, of course they’re still open. There’s still a few difficulties when we’re planning… People say things he doesn’t quite understand, but I’ve always managed to smooth it over.” ”You always fucking do. Y’know, he’s wayyy better at explaining magic than you are. I’m actually getting better- which you didn’t help with at all!” ”There’s only so much I can do for a student as bad as you…” current day… ”Fuck, Kenshiro’s gotten more dramatic… He’s lost a lot, I guess. Honestly, I was kind of jealous when he just started crying over Kari. I wish I could do that. I don’t have the time to cry over you. But, he was still the same Ken in a way, speaking way too fast about shit I didn’t understand. I kinda missed it.” |
Aaron/Aryin.Thorne | |
"The fuck, you’ve gone all artsy and shit? Oh, you were always artsy and shit? Can you still take a punch, then?" _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | 3 years ago… ”Fuck, you know what Aryin just texted me- and it’s definitely Aryin, cause Aaron doesn’t fucking shit talk like this.” ”Yeah?” ”’Seven fucking years. Seven…fucking…years. That’s how long I’ve had the displeasure of knowing you. From the day we met I knew we’d never be friends. I made sure of that when I pushed back and forced you to fight me-” ”Fuck, how long is this?” ”Shut up- ‘Some would say I won that fight, some would say we tied, but you know what I’d say? I think that you fucking lost that fight but won the war because I fucking love you bro. Seven fucking years, here’s to seven fucking more.’ This fucking bitch, I didn’t lose the fucking fight! When are we next going to St Portwell, I need to beat her fucking ass.” ”You can just say you miss her, Qian-er, it’s alright, I won’t judge you for going soft.” ”Oh fuck you, Jinhai.” ”I think it’s sweet. All your other ‘friends’ from Sycamore barely- Alright, cool down, I won’t shit talk them. But you can actually depend on them.” ”Yeah, yeah, you’re right… I do trust that fucker more than I do anyone else. Don’t tell them I said that.” ”Heh, I’ll consider it… Well, what did you do for your ‘friend anniversary’ or whatever this is.” ”I sent them a letter.” ”... Wow, I’m surprised, you can still write?” ”You fucking- yes I can. All it said was, ‘seven years, fuck you’ with a heart, anyway.” current day… ”You were right, y’know. Well… you were always right. But I can depend on Aryin… Aaron too, obviously. Fuck, y’know I wasn’t sure because they’ve been so fucking busy since I came back. But as soon as I saw them again, that was it. Like ten fucking years hadn’t passed. I need someone I can actually trust, because you’re not- fuck. I just can’t trust anyone else right now. They’d be fine around Yi-er, too- and you now how much I don’t want fucking coven members around him. You were the same, even with your friends… Whatever. I know they’ll have my back without any fucking conditions. Maybe it’ll be the same for Britney… and Greyson. But I can depend on them. Fuck, it really is good to see them again. They actually fucking understand shit! Not that I’m unloading all my problems on them- you know I can’t do that- but they get the money shit. Fucking sucks. I forgot how strong Aryin’s punch was after ten years of texting and calls… Fuck, I think it might bruise. Definitely don’t tell them- oh. You can’t. Haha. Well, don’t worry. With this bitch on my side, I won’t be joining you anytime soon.” |
Amara.King | |
"She keeps giving me this flirty look… Sorry, you don’t have a chance. Go fuck Bianca or something." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | ”So I heard the strangest thing about you, Bianca and Amara…” ”Huh?” ”Supposedly the three of you… had a bit of fun-” ”Stop right there. Who the fuck told you that?” ”Amara herself was bragging about it.” ”That fucking- I’m going to fucking end her. Nothing happened! Fuck. That bitch. Don’t listen to anything she says about us, okay! Fucking telling my brother… bitch… ugh…” |
”Luna”.Inoue | |
"I don’t give a fuck about the whole mafia thing, I dislike her as a person. She’s fucking boring." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | 10 years ago… ”I always knew there was something suspicious about Luna… But trying to get people to join her mafia group? I couldn’t have guessed it was something so stupid.” ”Heh, funny story…” ”What?” ”A couple of days ago she tried to approach me with that. She was going on about how she could give me another family and some shit about money, I don’t remember. It was boring as fuck. I just told her to fuck right off… I don’t want to join some shitty mafia. If I was going to it would be Grey- well, I wouldn’t, obviously. I didn’t bother saying cause it didn’t seem important.” ”Are you fucking with me, Linqian? You didn’t think it seemed important? That someone tried to get you to join a mafia.” ”Tried. As if she could make me. She ran away soon as I told her too, fucking coward.” ”I’m going to kill her.” ”Oh c’mon, Ge, stop being so dramatic. She didn’t do shit, and she’s gone now. Chill- heh, ironic I’m telling you that. You get real pissed when it comes to this kinda shit with me, don’t you? Don’t worry, if I see her again, I’ll kick her ass.” |
Aislin.Rose | |
"Start talking about dreams again and I’ll show you my fucking dreams." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Current day… ”So, Aislin came back too. She’s… the exact fucking same. It didn’t bother me as much back then, cause I was a teen without all this shit on me. But now it fucking pissed me off. I live in the real world with a shit ton of responsibilities, and she’s out here smoking fucking weed while we trying to find the person who killed you. Next thing she’ll be talking about how we should forgive and forget or some other fucking shit. Idealism doesn’t get you anywhere. I can’t eat dreams and good karma for dinner. Fuck, I’m getting more pissed off just thinking about it… I don’t have time for her idealistic shit.” |
Bé.Rochefoucauld | |
"I’m glad he’s not come back." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | x years ago… ”Are you still in touch with Bé?” ”... Why are you asking now?” ”Cause I was thinking about the coven and I just remembered that asshole. You used to be friendly with and, fuck, I wanted to make sure I won’t have to see him again.” ”We’re not. We lost contact a few years ago… But Sloane’s still in contact with him, I can get his number from-” ”Don’t you fucking dare. Hearing about her is already bad enough.” |
Britney.Williams | |
---|---|
"She ruined my life in ways she’ll never know." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | October 10. Recently, I’ve been forgetting things I don’t want to forget. Sometimes I worry that I’ll forget all those people I fought with ten years ago… So I’m going to write about them. I’ll start with Britney. I bet everyone else thinks I hate Britney. I did, once. I was furious when she admitted to what she’d done, and made sure she got kicked out… I couldn’t stand to be around her. But it’s fine now. Really. I don’t remember when my feelings cooled down, but it was a while ago. Maybe when I found out I was dying. There’s just no point in devoting so much energy towards her, y’know? Actually, writing this is the last time I’m going to think about her, cause honestly I don’t feel anything about her at all. She did save me. But can it be considered saving me if I’m barely able to live? Sometimes I wish she hadn’t. How intelligent. I will decay her last, as thanks for setting me free. |
Drake.Blackmore | |
"I wish my abstraction let me make swords and shit." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | October 11. Drake. I looked up to Drake, but I was also jealous of him. Sorta. It’s hard to explain! I wanted to be like him, I suppose. Athletic, cool… He reminds me a lot of the guys I used to play football with, when I could. I was jealous of them too. It's a gender thing, really. We barely talked, anyway, he left so early. Man, I really hope we can hang out this time around. October 23. I can’t believe he punched Sloane. I really can’t. I looked up to him.. I mean, I still think he’s a good guy. He’s going through a lot, I get that. Sloane was out of line. She was so out of line! But that didn’t mean he could just punch her… It was such a shitshow. Hopefully Drake cools off before he comes back. He should apologise to Sloane… though she should also apologise to him. I can’t believe things got so heated day one. I wish I could’ve stopped it. I still respect him, just… Not as much. Stupid. I’m sure I can corrupt this one first. |
Linqian.Han | |
"Phew, just must be exhausted finding problems in everything." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | October 12. Linqian… Another person I didn’t really talk to! I watched a lot of her arguments, though, wow. She could’ve done with stepping back a few times. Her brother seemed sound. Shame about him… Well, yeah. I wonder how she’s doing. Maybe she’ll be a bit nicer this time round. I don’t think she even knew I existed, back then. Can’t blame her! Inane. An easy one to get rid of. |
Sloane.Faris | |
"I hope she’s learned how to smile." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | October 13. Sloane. I have never seen someone smile so little! And it’s been ten years! Not that I get out much… Last time we talked, like really talked, it wasn’t great. Understatement of the century, Luca. It was pretty shit. She did not approve of me wanting to get rid of the rot. Really didn’t hold back when telling me that either. She’s lucky I’m such a nice guy! Anyway, I understood where she was coming from. There’d be more threats coming and all, so we should use our powers against them, or something. She didn’t know it was killing me! Nor did I, actually. It was just an inconvenience then. She really was a downer, though. Could’ve done with some positivity. I’ll try pass that on if I see her again. October 23. Sloane… really hasn't changed. You’d think after ten years you’d learn there’s some things you don’t say, but Sloane hasn’t! I can’t believe she thought it was Drake’s fault. I understand what it's like, wanting someone else to blame so you don’t have to deal with all the feelings… but it never helps. She needs to accept that it's no one's fault and that sometimes you can’t change things. It will make everything easier. Maybe I should try talk to her about it? I don’t think she’ll talk to me, though. Interesting. Could be of use. |
Tayla.Choi | |
"She deserves peace, after what she went through." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | October 14. Tayla. I really didn’t know Tayla, but it must’ve been horrible going through what she did. I heard from Olivia that she was in a real bad place after, too. Man, she deserved better, she seemed so fun. Blind. She will decay with the rest of the world.. |
"Edict".Devola | |
"Was he really part of the mafia?" _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | October 15. Greyson. Gonna be controversial for all the people who’ll never read this, but I didn’t mind being around him. Even when he used his cozy centre thing on me. It was kind of nice. Not that I have many negative thoughts towards him, or at all, but it really helped get rid of the few I did have! Should’ve thanked him for that… Actually, I don’t think that would’ve gone down well. If he comes back I hope he brings his money… Just joking! I wouldn’t make him buy me that new bed I really need, anyway. Useful. He will help me crack this body. |
Kali.Mahendra | |
"I can’t believe he’s dead.." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | October 24. I’m sorry, Kali, I should have done more to keep you alive. It was my fault for leaving you at Dairy Queen. I’m so sorry. So blissfully unaware. This one will decay on his own. |
Jack.Hawthorne | |
"He needs a good night’s sleep as much as I do." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | October 17. Jack. He straight up disappeared! I’ve heard about everyone else every now and then, thanks to Olivia really, but not him. I think he went into the void… I didn’t know what it was then, but I do now. Can’t wait to hear all about it when he comes back. Assuming he comes back. He will be back! Dangerous. Must have seen so much destruction. |
"Sully".McPherson | |
"You still a good shot?" _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | October 18. Sully! Aw man, I miss Sully! He always knew how to lighten up the mood, we could talk about anything back in the day. I wonder how he’s doing… Haven’t heard from him, but I haven't heard from anyone. Hard to keep in touch when I keep destroying phones. He always threw the best parties. Well, I couldn’t really participate, but they seemed it. He really was a breath of fresh air when everyone else was so negative. I’m looking forward to seeing him again. (I was jealous of him too, for a bit. I wish I could be part of their group. At least he treats me like one of the guys, mostly) Hindrance. The body is too happy around him. |
Leon.Richoux | |
"We’re pretty similar, even if he doesn’t know that yet." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | October 19. Leon… Uh, wow, this is a hard one. I hardly knew Leon, but I was around when he got adjoined. Well not part of the group that did it, but still in the coven. I really understand what it’s like not quite being in control. Having something so malevolent trapped inside of him must be a nightmare. At least I sort of coexist with the rot, he doesn’t seem to at all… He was nice to me back in the day as well. I wonder if he’s worried about losing himself too… Maybe I can talk to him, and help a bit. As someone who understands. I should be concerned about myself first. Will lose himself before this body does. |
Stormy.Carson | |
"I wonder if he ever made that magic condom..." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | October 20. Stormy. Uh, Stormy saved my ass a couple of times during the battle against the Stygian Snake. He saved everyone’s asses, really, but I probably would be dead without him. For a while I thought he’d be able to help me with my problem… Unfortunately, it wasn’t really a permanent fix, or one I wanted. He tried, though! I appreciated that. Stormy was a good guy. Is! He isn’t dead, haha. I hope. Yeah, no, I’m pretty sure he isn’t. If anyone’s still alive, it’ll be Stormy. November 1st. I can’t thank Stormy enough for what he did yesterday. Without him, I might not have regained control. I would be in an even worse state today as well. It was so nice to have some time without the Rot! Stormy really hasn’t changed. He’s still that reliable protector. It was really nice actually spending time with him, having him round to my place… And not just because he could help with the Rot. I hope we can spend more time together. I know that if I ever need help, I can go to Stormy. He’s a good guy - and a good friend. Dangerous. Too well protected to get rid of easily. |
"Lyss".Burns | |
"I’m sorry." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | November 3rd. Another dead… I’m sorry, Lyss. |
Anya.Baksh | |
"I really don’t want to see her." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | October 21. Anya. I don’t like Anya. It’s really hard for me to not like someone, but I don’t like her. She was never outright nasty but I could always tell she was looking down on me. I’d rather not have someone like that in my life… There’s enough going on without being judged. But hey, maybe she’s nicer now! You never know! Not a threat. Easy to corrupt. |
Evelynn.Serenelight | |
"Please don’t look into my future. I don’t want you to what will happen more than once." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | October 23. I saw Lynn today! Honestly, I didn’t expect her to come back… and she kind of didn’t? But she turned up at Dairy Queen, so it basically counts. She’s still the same Lynn, I think. She did have a flask on her… I’m sure it's nothing bad. It was so nice to see her again, seriously! I wish I’d kept in touch… But that was hard with anyone other than Olivia. I can’t explain it, it just was. It’s so much harder to hide it from so many people. I hope she didn’t pay attention to what Greta said. I’m sure she took it to mean because of Father Wolf, not anything else. I also hope she doesn’t look into my future. Not because I don’t want her to know… I just don’t want her to get hurt. It would be too horrible for her to see my death more than once. I’m sure it’s in all my futures… Please save yourself the pain, Lynn. One to watch. I’m sure she sees the destruction I’ll cause in the future. |
Lila.Blackwood | |
"If you need any bird shit cleaned up, I’m your man! I’ll try not to rot away whatever it’s on too…" _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | October 23. Wow, Lila has changed - for a moment I almost didn’t recognise her! But she looks so much happier, and I’m so happy for her. Like, I get it, of course. We talked about it before. I’m glad she can be who she always was. Really, really glad. She deserves it. I’m so glad to see her… It’s been too long. I’d forgotten how much I missed her company. Hopefully, this time we’ll be able to keep in contact till… Well. Y’know. But that doesn’t matter. We’re hanging out again, and I’m so happy about it. I do hope Britney was able to help her with the Maiden she was talking about. Having something talking in your head is scary! I know that better than most. Really fucks with you, and Lila deserves to have her mind free of anything like that. And if it works… Maybe I’ll contact Britney too. I really hope it works because I’m selfish for Lila! November 1st. The Maiden wasn’t sealed, and she knows the Rot somehow. I don’t… really understand. I feel really bad for Lila. She doesn’t deserve to be dealing with this. Those feathers looked so painful. Hopefully we can figure it out. Lila is one of my closest friends. I’m going to do everything I can to help her. I’ll put all of my energy into finding Father Wolf and helping her handle the Maiden! Because she deserves to live the life she wants to. I just hope she doesn’t hate me for still liking some of 8th Street. The Maiden has chosen a good host. I’m sure together they’ll do much for us. |
Jasper.Wilde | |
"How do I even begin to describe Jasper? He’s… He’s just Jasper." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | October 22. Jasper, phew! Getting to the good ones huh… Jasper’s great. I hope he’s doing well. I haven’t heard from him since he left… Well I haven’t heard of anyone that didn’t join another coven, unless Olivia passed something on. Unless it’s online I won’t see it! I can’t blame him for leaving the coven before it got even worse, either, or for not keeping in touch. I didn’t do my part either. I hope he’s there tomorrow! I’d love to see anything he’s drawn recently, from a safe distance of course. I wouldn’t want to ruin that. I really can’t wait to see him. November 2nd. It’s been a week since Jasper came back into my life. I couldn’t be happier, honestly. I feel so comfortable around him. I feel more than comfortable. At first, it was like having another best friend. But now it's something more. My heart races when I’m with him, I blush, and I feel all sorts of strange feelings. It's similar to the constant rotting, but pleasant. Lila says it's because I like him. I think she’s right. I do like Jasper. I just want to spend all my time with him, he makes me so happy. It’s a shame we could never be together. With the Rot, and him being straight… But it’s alright! I’m just happy being with him! Every moment spent together brings me joy. I’m actually happy when I’m with him. I’m so glad Jasper’s in my life again… Even if we keep having to fight that weird skeleton. A nuisance to get rid of, before he causes this body too much joy. |
Adora.Phoenix-Prescott | |
"I’m sorry, I wish I could’ve been there for you. I’ll never stop missing Lisa too." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | October 22. Adora. … It’s hard to write about Adora without remembering Lisa, and whenever I remember Lisa… Ah, it’s hard. She suffered so much, and she didn’t deserve it. She was one of the best of us. So was Adora. Adora saved me so many times… Like that time we were flying away from Scott Reese, me dangling from Lisa’s spider, and almost fell to our deaths! I wish I could look back on that fondly, but it only makes me sad. Lisa also saved me then. You both did. I hope that Adora’s doing alright. She deserves peace, and to be doing better. I hope she doesn’t come back tomorrow… Not because I don’t want to see her! Of course I do! But I don’t think it’ll be good for her. Everything will be a reminder. I understand that. It’s difficult even without… That. But if she does come back, I’ll try to let her know I’m here for her, as much as I can be. Once so strong, now so weak, no longer a threat. Can be dealt with later. |
Layla.Hyacinthus | |
"Don’t listen to it, Layla. It won’t work out." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | October 24. I… honestly didn’t remember Layla. She was hardly around me, and it’s been so long. I can’t believe she’s adjoined with the void now. No one should be adjoined with the void. It’s horrible, with what it did to Alizee… You don’t deserve that. You’re too young. Believe me, it’s not worth it. The void is so quick to find another victim. Good. |
Clancy.Patrick | |
"Please, go home where it’s safe." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | October 24. There was a kid at the meeting? What the fuck? I think he said his name’s Clancy and he’s Ashley’s cousin… But still, he shouldn’t be here! Does he not know how dangerous it could be? Does he even have magic? Shit, I should keep my distance just in case. Hardly a child. |
Kenshiro.Murakin | |
"Kennnn! Bro, it’s so nice to see you! How was, uh, I don’t remember the other universes name, but how was it?" _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | October 25. Oh man, Ken. I love Ken. I didn’t have a chance to write about him before… honestly, he’s one of the coven members who's freshest in my memory. He’s a good friend, and visits me quite regularly when he’s not off in other worlds. Which are super cool to hear about! He keeps bringing me back stuff that he think will help with my pain and the rot… Sometimes it helps with the pain, but my meds already do that. None of it has affected the rot, but I don’t mind! I’m just glad he’s trying to help and visits me. He’s… probably seen me deteriorate more than anyone. I don’t think it’s obvious yet, but he might have guessed. He knows how much pain I’m in, at least, which I’ve tried to hide. He doesn’t know I’m dying. I hope he doesn’t find out. He’s too nice to have to carry that, and he’s already lost so many. I hope that my death doesn’t become another burden he has to carry. A possible threat. Unlikely to find a cure, but always a chance. |
Aaron/Aryin.Thorne | |
"I heard you’re in 317 like Jasper! What’s he like at work?" _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | October 26. Me and Aaron got on, but weren’t really close… He was good friends with Ella, though, so I knew him a bit through her! Honestly… it makes it hard to think about him. I miss Ella. I’m sure he does too. I had less in common with Aryin. She was much friendlier with people like Linqian. It’s a shame, because maybe she’s the one person I could get close to- haha… we’re not that similar though. Too stupid to be an issue. |
Amara.King | |
"Exactly how many of you are there?" _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | October 26. Amara’s another one I didn’t know very well. She was always planning, then fighting on the front lines with her army of one. I thought she was- is- cool. I liked how chill she was. I always felt like I could relax around her… I didn’t have to worry so much. I hope that she’s alright, since she hasn’t come back. Maybe she’ll join later? An interesting abstraction, leaving the original lacking… |
”Luna”.Inoue | |
"Maybe you need help, but we can’t help you." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | October 27. I didn’t know Luna long before she was kicked out. She seemed nice… but how much of that was fake? She didn’t try to approach me, but she did others. We were teenagers who’d already been through enough, how could she try to recruit us into a mafia of all things. Even someone like me can’t have a positive opinion of someone like her. Will rot with the rest, along with her group. |
Aislin.Rose | |
"Do you mind, uh, taking that elsewhere- cough- I have asthma! Sorry, Aislin!" _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | October 27. Aislin… oh, what’s Aislin up to, I wonder? I haven’t seen her since the coven broke up, but I really liked her. She was always so cheerful and optimistic… It was nice to have someone else who saw the bright side of things! There weren't a lot of us. Aislin was always easy to be around, when she wasn’t smoking. It wasn’t so bad then but now… I don’t think I’d be able to handle it. My lungs aren’t what they used to be even then it hurt. I really hope she’s doing well! I’d love to see her again. To naive to pose a threat. |
Bé.Rochefoucauld | |
"We’ve all been hurt. That doesn’t give you an excuse to hurt other’s." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | October 28. I hardly knew Bé, and I’m glad. He was like Anya, but at least she tried to hide her true feelings. He didn’t bother. Maybe I should respect his honesty? But it’s difficult to when he’s so cold. I hope that he’s grown, and found some positivity in his life. Oh, corruption runs deep in this one. |
Kari.Wilson | |
"You’ll never know how sorry I am. " _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | October 10. I… I wish things were different. I should have listened to you, Kari. I should have given you more time. I didn’t. I didn’t and now you’re gone. I couldn’t believe it when I heard that you were dead. Of course you’re dead. If anyone could stop Father Wolf, it would be you. I’m sorry I couldn’t do anything about it. And I’m so sorry I worked with Emily. You were right. Emily isn’t a good person. I never thought she was, but I thought there was a chance. She only got worse. I tried to stop it, but it didn’t work. And she’s stringing along so many people who need help… She was pretending to help me and Carol, but she wasn’t doing anything. I’m- I’m not sorry for joining 8th Street. Some of them were- are- like family to me. I love them. But I loved you too. And now you’re gone. I’m so sorry. But… I’m also glad you won’t have to see me go. Like Lisa, Saskia and Ella… I’m sure you don’t care for me as much. Not after I betrayed you. But I’ll do my best to make sure no one else dies. I’ll stay hopeful even when no one else does. There’s a way out of this. I hope you’re happy, in whatever there is afterwards, with Lisa, Ella and Saskia. Thank you for trying. I hope you know just how much you did for us- for me. I’ll miss you. All good things rot eventually. |
Drake.Blackmore | |
---|---|
"I don’t understand what Jade saw in him." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Usefulness: 4/10. Strong, but too reckless. Refuses to listen to those that know better than him. Drake was a typical case of someone with a strong abstraction who couldn’t use it wisely. Instead he would just run headfirst into danger and drag everyone else along with him. No wonder his wife died. Anya feels sympathetic for what happened, but it doesn’t change her dislike for Drake. His inability to stop and think frustrated Anya to no end. She hopes he’s matured after all these years, but doesn’t particularly want to meet him again anyway. |
Britney.Williams | |
"She has nothing to feel guilty for." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Usefulness: 8/10. Smart, resourceful, does what needs to be done. Once it came out that Britney had been adjoining other people non consensually, Anya was one of her few supporters. While she wasn’t especially vocal about it, as that would be a bad look for her in the group, she was very clear with Britney privately that she didn’t see a problem with what she’d done and tried to talk more neutral members of the group around. Anya honestly doesn’t think Britney did anything wrong. She did what had to be done under the circumstances. Really, she’d saved many people’s lives. Everyone else just didn’t have the guts to do it. |
Alizée.Altieri | |
"All that power yet she can’t decide what to do with it." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Usefulness: 0/10. Killed by her own actions. Anya will not let the void take another. It’s too much of a nuisance. |
Eksa.Thresh | |
"She shouldn’t have come back." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Usefulness: 0/10. Father wolf victim. |
Linqian.Han | |
"Poor Jinhai, stuck with someone like her." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Usefulness: 2/10. Her personality destroys any use her abstraction would bring. Anya doesn’t understand how such a man as smart as Jinhai could have such a stupid, irritating twin. Perhaps something went wrong when they were both developing. Anya has practically no good opinions about Linqian - not only is she a bitch, but she wields her abstraction with little thought to the consequences. While Anya was saddened to hear of Jinhai’s death, as he was one of the best of the group, she has no plans to offer sympathies to someone like Linqian. It was a shame she didn’t die instead. |
Luca.Oliviera | |
"Ah, poor Luca. If only he’d move on and use the gift Britney gave him." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Usefulness: 3/10. Too much of a coward to fully use his power. Pathetic. Another one of Britney’s “victims”. Anya doesn’t know Luca well, since he joined late and she didn’t last that long in the coven afterwards. It was clear he wanted rid of the apparition and Anya didn’t approve of that. Surely he could learn to control it if he tried hard enough? Though his dreams recently have been quite disturbing, so maybe there’s something going on there. |
Sloane.Faris | |
"It's a shame that Sloane doesn’t know how to fake friendliness. She’d get so far if she could." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Usefulness: 8/10. Would be more beneficial if she learned tact. One of the most useful abstractions. While Anya disagrees with Sloane’s idea that it was their duty to protect St Portwell, there were plenty of other things they saw eye to eye on. There was a shared “sympathy” (as much as either could feel that) over the state of their abstractions during the Stygian Snake era, with Sloane having lux types that were difficult to blend and Anya having so many she didn’t know what to do with them. However Sloane thought too little of her contributions, which frustrated Anya, and Anya thought too much of her own. Anya kept in touch with Sloane after the coven dissolved, as she was useful. It was a mutually beneficial relationship when Anya returned to St Portwell - through her dream visits Anya could help persuade former coven members to hand over their artifacts, and could use it to find others that needed to be stored away. Anya agreed that it was best they were in the hands of someone sensible, but didn’t want to take the risk on herself. Sloane was the perfect choice. This eventually grew into a genuine friendship. Anya has a good opinion of Sloane, and is unbothered by her demeanour. She’s learned to easily read the small changes in Sloane’s facial expressions, and understands her completely. She’s likely the only person Anya considers a friend. Lately, Anya’s slightly concerned that she’s growing to care for Sloane too much. |
Tayla.Choi | |
"Without lux she doesn’t exist to me." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Usefulness: 0/10. Severed herself from her lux, useless. Anya knows that Tayla no longer has an abstraction thanks to visiting her dreams, and thus has a very low opinion of her. She’s just resigned herself to a life on the bottom rung without an abstraction, and has made herself incredibly vulnerable. Anya hopes for all of their sakes that she doesn’t come back. |
"Edict".Devola | |
"It’s a shame the old leaders were too virtuous to see his uses." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Usefulness: 7/10. Knows how to use what he has to his advantage. Anya and Edict have a mutually beneficial agreement to work together, and have kept in contact for the past ten years. They meet in his dreams, resulting in knowing things about each other that normally wouldn’t be shared. Anya doesn’t trust Edict and knows he doesn’t tell her everything, but the reverse is true as well. He is one of the few people she can truly be herself around - he knows what she’s really like, and there’s no problem there. There’s mutual respect between the two, and they work well together. It’s difficult for Anya to tell whether she actually likes Edict, or merely views him as a business partner. His company can be enjoyable, but equally irritating. But overall they get on well, and there’s an ease between them. Their close relationship and working together is kept secret from everyone else, however, as it benefits neither of them for it to be out in the open right now. |
Kali.Mahendra | |
"Shame, that he died.." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Usefulness: 0/10. Dead. Not one of us, anyway. |
Simone.Le.Fay | |
"She could have avoided her death, if only she tried harder." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Usefulness: 0/10. Dead. |
Jack.Hawthorne | |
"I’m looking forward to exchanging stories when I see him again." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Usefulness: 9/10. Strong abstraction and knowledge, too much of an ego. Jack is one of the few people in the coven that Anya “gets on with”, in that she can have an equal conversation with him where she’s normally looking down on everyone else. If anyone’s close to her equal it would be Jack. Back in the day she was happy to pass on what she’d learned from her family to him, spending time together pouring over books and trying to figure out new spells. They had incredibly similar passions, and egos - which is the main area they clashed. There were some heated arguments between Jack and Anya about who’s way was best, who’s idea was right, but that’s water under the bridge. The fact that Anya actually deigned to have arguments with him, rather than just dismissing him, show’s how much she thinks of him. It’s not so much a past friendship, though, as a mutually beneficial partnership to improve their magic and knowledge. |
"Sully".McPherson | |
"I can’t believe Sloane let him take the chalice back. It was much safer with her." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Usefulness: 0/10. A bumbling fool. The chalice would be better used in another’s hands. The only positive thing Anya has to say for Sully is that he supported Britney near the end of the coven, the only time he actually used his single brain cell. Otherwise Anya has nothing but disdain for him. He used an ancient artifact to provide teenagers with beer, turning the coven into a party house when it should have been a place for learning and getting rid of paranormal threats. He was incredibly unreliable and ran when the going got tough. All in all, it would have been better for everyone if someone more sensible had the chalice. |
Everleigh.Thorn | |
"I’m sure prison will treat her well." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Usefulness: 0/10. Rightly jailed. |
Leon.Richoux | |
"Such a shame, his lux was the best thing about him." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Usefulness: 4/10. Strong but uncontrollable. Just as likely to be a danger as it is to be an aid. Ten years ago, Anya both got on with and clashed with Leon. They had their similarities coming from long, proud lines of adepts, and his mastery of orange lux ultimately helped her figure out hers when it was the one she struggled with most. However, his self decided role of an enforcer was just irritating. When you put two people with superiority complexes in the same room it’s difficult for either of them to come out happy. So while Anya would go to him (reluctantly) for help with her orange lux, she also disliked the way he acted superior (ironically) and pushed his ideals on others. When he sacrificed his lux to seal Lady Lelou inside of him, she lost most of the good opinions she had of him. Adjoined had their places, but his lux had been too impressive to be worth the sacrifice. |
Stormy.Carson | |
"He pushes his morals on all of us as if we should care." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Usefulness: 7/10. A strong protection is needed for others to shine. Anya feels mostly neutral towards Stormy. He was smarter than the other “jocks” of the group, and less reckless - along with being irreplaceable in the battle against the snake. However, he was one of the most vocal against Britney. Morals always got in the way of strength, and Stormy was the type to not back down when he’d decided something was wrong. Anya just couldn’t get along with someone like that. |
"Lyss".Burns | |
"I enjoy visiting her dreams." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Usefulness: 6/10. A personal army she could easily turn against us if she wished to. Lyss’ dreams are some of the more interesting ones, so Anya does enjoy visiting them. Lyss didn’t socialise much in the old coven, and she always held back a bit - which Anya didn’t approve of. But her abstraction was a strong one, used relatively well. She isn’t one for moral grandstanding like many of the others, which does improve Anya’s opinion of her slightly. They didn’t talk too much, so Anya views Lyss mostly neutrally - if with the view she could do more with her lux. |
Evelynn.Serenelight | |
"I suppose your opinion is formed from a supposed future? But what about the ones you’re not telling us about?" _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Usefulness: 0/10. A false prophet, rarely predicting anything useful. Evelynn seems to hate Anya, and Anya thinks very little of her. As a result, Evelynn’s opinions of her also matter little. Ten years ago Evelynn “used” her abstraction to help them see future possibilities and draw up plans, but so often it didn’t lead to an outcome any better than one without them. And how much was she keeping from them? And now? Is Evelynn foreseeing all of their deaths and keeping it to herself? Anya doesn’t trust Evelynn, though she keeps this to herself and just treats her coolly. There’s no point giving someone like her the time of the day. |
Lila.Blackwood | |
"If you have a problem, I will try to help. No, I don’t mind that your friend dislikes me." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Usefulness: 5/10. Has so much potential, but refuses to use it. Anya has a relatively neutral, if barely existent, opinion of Lila. She didn’t do anything notable ten years ago, and Anya only knew she existed because she made it her job to know and remember everyone. She’s changed a lot since she came back, it seems. There’s more crows, and more of a backbone. Anya plans to observe her - both in the waking and dreaming world - to see if she could be an ally when away from her antagonistic friends. |
Jasper.Wilde | |
"It’s alright. Many don’t recognise brilliance until it hits them in the face." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Usefulness: 2/10. Wastes his talent by fixating on a hatred for someone much better than him. Just as Jasper dislikes Anya by association, Anya dislikes Jasper for his hatred of Sloane. It’s unfounded and quite frankly incredibly irritating. What little goodwill she had towards him was quickly destroyed by his actions, and she still doesn’t have good opinions of him. She would gladly knock him down a peg or two, but generally treats him as she does everyone else - diplomatically, with a few snide jabs. It’s not her fault he’s not smart enough to see who are the ones in this coven who can truly help them all, and who have been holding everything together for the past ten years. There’s no use wasting her time on the opinion of the weak. |
Adora.Phoenix-Prescott | |
"Yes, Lisa’s death was your fault. What are you doing to fix that?" _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Usefulness: 1/10. Too busy wallowing in self pity to do anything useful. Anya once had a high opinion of Adora. Along with Clementine and Vanessa, she was a powerhouse of the coven. It’s safe to say they wouldn’t have survived without those three. But after Lisa’s death she abandoned her abstraction, and has barely progressed from there. If she feels so guilty, why not do something about it? What is there to grieve ten years over? Anya doesn’t understand, and just finds her pathetic. She needs to move on and do something with herself. Thankfully, her dreams are more interesting than the rest of her life - and have given Anya plenty of material to work with. |
Layla.Hyacinthus | |
"I’m afraid you chose to side with the wrong Apparition." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Usefulness: 1/10. Not much of an issue before, more dangerous now. Painfully naive and easy to manipulate. Anya viewed Layla as little more than one of the many fighters in their ranks, hardly remembering her name and face. She contributed very little against the Stygian Snake and came with issues too annoying to be dealt with. Her opinion of her has only grown lower upon finding out how easily she was manipulated by the Void, and the House of Cards in turn. While Anya wouldn’t care, she agrees with Greyson that the House of Cards will be a problem - and Layla could be, in turn, so she’ll work with him to deal with it. Whether that means manipulating Layla herself… well, that’s something she’s considering. |
Clancy.Patrick | |
"I’m sorry for your loss, at such a young age." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Usefulness: ?/10. An unknown. Needs more investigation. Anya didn’t know Ashley had a cousin, even with all her dreamwalking. On the outside, she’s welcoming to him - taking his leads and offering condolences. But she’s suspicious of him, and plans to keep an eye on him even if he’s just a kid. Most kids don’t climb down from a church’s rafters. |
Kenshiro.Murakin | |
"His adventures in other realms are sometimes more interesting than dreams." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Usefulness: 8/10. Strong, well trained. Lacks some flexibility and has grown reckless. While Anya and Kenshiro aren’t particularly friendly, he is one of the few people she respects. Just like her, he comes from a long lineage of adepts. That gave a base level of respect, and his strong magic made him someone Anya viewed as an equal. There was a hint of jealousy there, too, for how easily Kenshiro seemed to be able to use his gold lux - the one type Anya was unable to tap into during the Stygian Snake, even with help from people like him. But she kept this hidden. After all, they were very different magically. Kenshiro learned spells from spellbooks passed down from his family, and Anya had to develop her own. Anya views Kenshiro as one of the more useful, and tolerable, members of the old coven. |
Aaron/Aryin.Thorne | |
"Like attracts like, no wonder they’re so close to Linqian." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Usefulness: 3/10. Stupid, restricted. Anya doesn’t have a particularly positive view of Aaron/Aryin - especially as Aryin. The restriction of lux type to form seems ridiculously limiting to her. While how it works is interesting, Anya doesn’t particularly care past that. They were in different circles and had very little reason to interact ten years ago. She hopes to keep it that way. |
Amara.King | |
"Her dreams are a little difficult, with so many of her." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Usefulness: 7/10. Strong abstraction, dangerous side effects. Anya and Amara got on reasonably well, ten years ago. Amara came up with good battle plans which Anya agreed with, and was strong enough in a fight to gain some respect that way. Her friendliness with everyone was always something Anya found… irritating. Perhaps because she didn’t understand it. |
”Luna”.Inoue | |
"A spy among our ranks that we don’t need back." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Usefulness: 0/10. Works for others. Anya never trusted Luna, and was never friendly with her. This worked in her favour when it was revealed she was working for a St Portwell mafia recruiting teenagers. This tarnished Anya’s view of her further, along with the House of Cards itself. What kind of group needed barely functional teenagers to keep running? Knowing that the House of Cards is causing issues makes Luna a person of interest for her right now. |
Bé.Rochefoucauld | |
"He’s a kindred spirit, I suppose. We understand each other were others do not." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Usefulness: 8/10. Smart, useful abstraction, like Sloane could learn some tact. Anya and Bé understand each other, even if they’re not exactly friends. With them both lacking in empathy there just isn’t that need there for them to get emotionally close to each other. But they’re very similar, and Bé is one of the few people Anya can be a bit more of herself around without the friendly and good facade she’s built up. She does find the fact he doesn’t bother to hide it like she does a bit infuriating, while simultaneously being jealous of it. She doesn’t have the family money to fall back on - or family at all. But overall, Anya has a positive view of Bé - he’s one of the people in the previous coven she was closest to. |
@FernStone Honestly, if he does that, all is forgiven and she'll love him forever. We can totally make that happen.
<Snipped quote by silvermist1116>
He's probably the one coven member with the best shot at it thanks to his mafia connections...
(Tbh Linqian finds out about Dean and she'll go try beat his ass anyway, edict can take the credit)
<Snipped quote by FernStone>
Very true. Dean won't make it easy for him. She hopes Linqian doesn't mind out. She's not trying to get her killed.
<Snipped quote by silvermist1116>
Yeahhhhh... Someone will really have to hold Linqian back if that happens before she goes gets herself shot
(Thankfully she's not the one of the two with the mind reading...)
MELLON.COLLIE.HILL | |
............................................................ | A legendary neutral ground of the Covens new and old, Mellon Collie Hill is a location where rituals were conducted and alliances were made. Mellon Collie Hill presents itself as a fancy tourist spot where people take selfies. However, all the legends and stories about it were true. At the base of the hill is a stone staircase that leads to a pathway throughout the Hill. This pathway is etched with rune stones and sometimes artifacts from past rituals that were conducted here.

Britney.Williams | |
---|---|
"Once this blows over, we're going to have a long talk, Britney." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Lihn Phan's Session Transcripts - Adora's Reflections on Britney Williams: You know, back in the day I thought that Britney was my friend, a sister. Then I heard about her true colors, what she did to Luca, and how she gave bastards like Emily G. Reed and Vashti Nour new avenues to be a monster. She's a walking contradiction, doc. She portrays as this fuckin' beacon of hope and compassion, only to turn out that she was manipulating everyone all along. It's like she used it as a fuckin' weapon, doc, only using it as a weapon to fit her agendas. It's infuriating. To act like you're serving the "greater good" only for her definition to change to whatever suits her goddamn needs. You never know what she got up her sleeve... what she will do next. She acts untouchable, but trust me, I will bring her back to earth the hard way. The worst part is that we need her despite it all. We need her help. Her expertise. Her knowledge. Suppose we're going to get out of this in one piece. I just wished I did more to stop her. |
Drake.Blackmore | |
"What did Jade see in you?" _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Lihn Phan's Session Transcripts - Adora's Reflections on Drake & Jade Blackmore: Drake Blackmore... what an arrogant, impulsive, dickhead. He always acted like some hero, Doc, flexing his muscles and grinning, like he would solve all our problems himself. Not just that, he always had to do things his way, consequences be damned, and everyone else refused to let FAFO bring his ass back down to earth. I couldn't stand him, nor his dumbass family that couldn't keep his ass in line. It also pissed me off that Ashley, Auri, and Daisy always just let him get away with his bullshit. It's no wonder he's spiraling now, Doc; it's only a matter of time until you get another client. Heh, want me to recommend him to you? Oh, I'm getting off track here. But, Jade, just saying her name makes me sad. I know she chose a toxic meathead for a husband - that was her decision - but Jesus... she saved so many people with her magic. She taught other people, like Lisa, how to heal, and there was more that made her special than just her magic. She believed in people and the goodness of others, and she never gave up on anyone, even in our darkest hours. There was an allure to it... I'm keeping this between us, Doc, but I had a crush on her back in the day - the issue was that she was glued to Blackmore's hip. She tried to reach out to me a few times after I left, but I always brushed her off. Maybe I shouldn't have. Maybe I could have saved her. |
Alizée.Altieri | |
"I never trusted you; there was always something off about you...." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Lihn Phan's Session Transcripts - Adora's Reflections on Alizée Alteri: There was always thought about her that made my damn skin crawl. I never liked her anyway; she dragged a damn child into the fight against a world-ending horror, doc. Though, I always kept her at arm's length. Lisa didn't like her either. From what Britney and the others told me, I was right not to trust her. She was going around preying on innocents... but she's gone now. There's nothing I can do about that. Maybe if I had known about it when I was stronger, I could have done something about it. |
Linqian.Han | |
"She could have learned a thing or two from her brother." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Lihn Phan's Session Transcripts - Adora's Reflections on Linqian Han: She's a complex one. I didn't like her back then; I didn't like her brother. He was a coward, doc. Like, what kind of dick headstands on the sidelines, playing with his dick while his sister fights for her life? She didn't like it when I said it to his face and tried to put her hands on me. It didn't go well for the bitch, but since then, we just kept fighting - she started it half the time, and it was almost like she didn't take any of this seriously. Dealing with her back in the day was exhausting. She's exhausting But that was in the past; we're both big girls now dealing with our problems - well, I am, at least. The way she started fucking around with her friend directly after Auri just announced someone died pissed me off. This ain't a fucking pow-wow. People are dying. It's like it's all a game to her until it personally affects her, then she decides to be serious. I want nothing to do with her, doc. I see her ex felt the same way. |
Luca.Oliviera | |
"The kid Lisa yeeted with a spider that time." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Lihn Phan's Session Transcripts - Adora's Reflections on Luca Oliviera: Luca... I... am at a loss for words. I wish I had known about this sooner. I wish I hadn't abandoned you; maybe I could have figured out a way to help you ten years ago. No, I wish I had been better to stop Britney sooner. That thing's killing him, Doc. It's sad to see someone like him, so cheerful and young and full of potential to make good in the world and have it all taken from him. I... just. I'm going to do something about it, Doc. It's what Lisa would have done. |
Sloane.Faris | |
"You want to be the leader, and yet I had to press you to come and admit that you lost the artifacts...?" _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Lihn Phan's Session Transcripts - Adora's Reflections on Sloane Faris: Sloane... I never liked Sloane. When I met her, she had this constant-ass aura of "I'm better than you," which was sickening. It took one conversation with her ass to tell her that we were not going to get along. Sloane-y always acted like she was a force for good, but to me, it always felt like a cover for something else - Which makes it worse because she knows that she ain't shit. I never figured out what because I made the conscious choice to stay away from her ass. She was friends with Lisa back in the day... somehow, and for the good of both of us, I just had to keep my distance from her. But, with Lisa gone, Doc, I can't say I trust her. I mean, when I politely asked for the other two rings back, she told me to go fuck myself and refused. She didn't care and blocked me even when I told her how much they meant to me. And look how that worked out for her, Doc? Dumbass got robbed and lost the rings anyway! Now, because of her, I'm missing two of the other rings, they could be lost forever, and she still acts like her shit don't stink. I can't wait to get away from her ass. |
Tayla.Choi | |
"Who?" _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Lihn Phan's Session Transcripts - Adora's Reflections on Tayla Choi: Honestly, Doc, I can't remember this bitch for the life of me. I see her around, and I notice that she ain't done shit so far. I'm not sure if she can't or won't - but the point is that if you're going to sit here on your ass, then you need to get the hell out of here. We are literally getting cut down, Doc; we don't need dead weight. |
"Edict".Devola | |
"I wonder if he's still the same egotistical snake he always was." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Lihn Phan's Session Transcripts - Adora's Reflections on Greyson Devola: Edict, I never liked him, Doc. We were in two separate circles in the Old Coven, but I got enough of him. He bankrolled the Coven and got us the robes and the old lair and shit. At first, he was just a regular-ass guy to me, but once you peel back the layers... he's a snake. A bastard. He's a manipulator, always trying to get into your head and make you feel like the most important person in the room. But it was a tool for him to get what he wanted from you. I never trusted him,. He’s got this way of worming into your head, making you second-guess everything. Every conversation with him is like a chess match, and you don’t even realize you’re playing until he's bled you of everything of use and tossed you aside. He always has something up his sleeve, always a step ahead. And the worst part? We needed him. We needed his connections, his money, his influence, and his goddamn magic. I hate to admit it, but we wouldn't have had half the intel or resources without him. He's good at what he does; I'll give him that. But it doesn't mean I have to like it. Or him. I told myself if he ever did anything to Lisa, I would tear his head off in front of everyone. But... I rarely, if ever, see his ass at the meetings, though, doc, but when I do, I can't help but wonder what he's up to, what he's planning, and what he actually wants. If he really thinks he's untouchable, he's got another thing coming. |
Jack.Hawthorne | |
"..." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Lihn Phan's Session Transcripts - Adora's Reflections on Jack Hawthorne: Ugh... just thinking about him sends a tingle down my spine. Deep down, it's not like I don't trust him - or maybe I don't. His eccentrics, the way the shadows dance at his fingertips, the way he travels through the darkness - reminds me too much of the Stygian Snake. This brings up other bad memories, and I would rather not face them right now. But it's almost like he modeled himself after the damned thing, doc! Jack's magic is too similar for it to be a coincidence, but... I can't help but say we need him with all the murders. His knowledge of magic, his power... We need that if we get out of this in one piece. It seems like he's one of the few people who give a damn, so that's a plus. But was I trusting him? That’s a whole 'nother discussion, Doc. He’s always been an enigma to me, that weird-ass mix of brilliance and madness - Though, Lisa wasn't that different. Cross that off the transcripts for me, Doc. I can’t deny that he’s saved our asses more times than I can count. When we fought the Stygian Snake, he pushed back the damned things forced with the same ass energy as me. He lost a fuckin' arm for crying out loud, doc! How could I not respect that? Yet, the fear lingers. Because deep down, I can’t shake the feeling that we’re playing with fire. Jack’s magic and connection to the Void is... dangerous. I'm not a magical expert, but what happens if he goes too deep? What happens if that magic he throws around is controlling him? I have to push those thoughts aside. Focus on what’s important. Jack ain't give me a reason not to trust him. His weird-ass eccentrics are just part of who he is - just like Lisa's were part of hers. And right now, we need every bit of his weird ass to survive this. I know he’s fighting for the same thing I am, and it's just my trauma pushing him away. So, I’ll trust him. But I'll also watch him. I may not be able to stop him right now. |
"Sully".McPherson | |
"You're a big goof, but I can't say that you were ever a bad person." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Lihn Phan's Session Transcripts - Adora's Reflections on Sully McPherson: swear, just thinking about him makes me want to roll my eyes. He never took anything seriously, always joking or throwing some stupid-ass party. And during the fight with the Stygian Snake? God, I wanted to grab him by his collar, shake him hard as the Trinity Ring would allow, and scream at him to come back down to Earth and realize what the fuck was at stake. Yet, I can't help but respect the guy... The moment that'll stick with me for the rest of my life: The Stygian Snake attacked me and Lisa. I had no goddamn clue about Magic or what was even going on. Lisa ran away. I was fighting for my life. The Stygian Snake impaled me... I thought it was over. He pulled me out of the fire. And shoved that disgusting, herpe-ridden cup into my mouth and saved me. Like, for real, doc! I still got the scars! Adora lifted her shirt, revealing the scar on her midsection, before lowering her shirt. Feel lucky, Doc. You're the only person I trust seeing that.... but it’s annoying. How can someone be so irritating but so indispensable at the same time? I take everything seriously. I pride myself on my ability to give a shit when fighting for our lives became a popularity contest. On the other hand, Sully seems to bumble through life, late to everything and forgetting plans, yet he always comes through when we need him. It’s like he’s got this guardian angel watching over him, Doc, making sure he's always in the right place at the right time. Yet, he's got heart. He cares. Underneath all the jokes and the goofiness, there’s a hero in there. A hero who might just be what we need to face whatever comes next. So, as much as I might want to smack him upside the head sometimes, I can’t help but respect him. |
Leon.Richoux | |
"So what did happen to your pops?" _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Lihn Phan's Session Transcripts - Adora's Reflections on Leon Richoux: Yeah, I still remember Leon, Doc. How could I forget about him? He's fucking huge! I knew about him before the Old Coven because I trained under his pops. Yet... I always had a hard time connecting to him. He usually hung around Blackmore, though, so I kept my distance because I Didn't want to start any more fights with Blackmore. It was obvious that the two of us are completely different people, but I hardly see his ass when we do Coven stuff. It makes me wonder what's so important... Though, our paths crossed at the Halloween Festival after that dickhead Trisha decided to try me. I was beating the breaks off her, and he pulled me off her. While I wish he didn't - at that moment - I respect him for that. |
Stormy.Carson | |
"It was my fault Lisa died. And only my fault." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Lihn Phan's Session Transcripts - Adora's Reflections on Stormy Carson: Stormy... He was skinny back in the day, but now? He's built like a fucking mountain. It's obvious he takes care of himself. But, despite looking tough as nails, a kindness to him betrayed it all. Not just that, he's always been a protector; I'm not sure how magic works, but he got the right color of Lux or whatever the fuck it is. I've seen it... Him in action is something I'll never forget, him fighting the Stygian Snake and throwing up his barriers to keep us safe - that was the thing about him. He was determined to keep us safe, which drew me to him in the past. When I was a young gal, I had feelings for him, his compassion, his dedication; it was impossible not to get feelings for him. Yet, I never acted on those feelings, Doc. I knew we had more important things to handle, and I'm confident he never saw me the way I saw him. But now? I noticed he hasn't changed much, and that's good. He still wants to protect us. And he cares, especially when no one else does. We haven't talked, but I reached out to him - hopefully because I wasn't just lonely Doc. I'm unsure if I'm in the right frame of mind to do anything with him, but I still feel some attachment to the guy, Doc. It just wouldn't be fair to either of us if I'm not ready. |
Anya.Baksh | |
"You don't know me." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Lihn Phan's Session Transcripts - Adora's Reflections on Anya Baksh: I never interacted with her back in the day, and for good reason. She was yet another snake-like Greyson... I wouldn't be surprised if the two of them are fucking, but again they both have moon-sized egos. But, I can tell she's only in it for herself and doesn't care about anyone else - maybe her homegirl Sloane, but I doubt it. Anya always acted like she was untouchable, above everyone else, but she ain't do a damn thing in the Old Coven, and she ain't do a damned thing now. That's the most annoying part, this bitch sits on her ass but acts like her shit don't stink! There's got to be an angle that bitch is playing, Doc. I know it. But I'll be damned if I let her walk all over us without a fight. |
Evelynn.Serenelight | |
"Friend?" _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Lihn Phan's Session Transcripts - Adora's Reflections on Evelynn Serenelight: I... don't remember her, Doc. The Coven gave me a lot to forget, but I see her around Lila. I'm starting to remember. |
Lila.Blackwood | |
"Friend." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Lihn Phan's Session Transcripts - Adora's Reflections on Lila Blackwood: I don't remember her a whole lot, either, Doc... Well, maybe because I remember her as someone different, but that's a whole 'nother discussion. She's the only person who reached out and tried to bring me up to speed when that goofball Auri dipped. I can tell that she cares. I can tell that she thinks highly of me... but it makes me feel like shit when I repress the mere memory of her. That's a bit fucked up on my part. But I know that Emily is out for her ass; I don't know why, though, but... I can't hold a match to Emily G. Reed and Vashti Nour, but I'll do everything in my power to keep her safe from harm. That's a promise.. |
Jasper.Wilde | |
"Who?" _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Lihn Phan's Session Transcript - Adora's Reflections on Jasper Wilde: Don't remember him. He hangs around Lila and Lynn, and that's as far as I know. Maybe I should have a conversation or two with him. Maybe it'd do me some good. |
Layla.Hyacinthus | |
"If what Brit says is correct, we need to get rid of her." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Lihn Phan's Session Transcripts - Adora's Reflections on Layla Hyacinthus: Hardly remember Layla, Doc. Well, I do... she was the kid that creepy bitch Alizee dragged into the Old Coven, and that was the start of me riding her. But I don't think I ever talked to Layla... and that goes for current-day Coven, too. I always thought there was something off about her, but Brit says she works for the House of Cards. Now, I don't trust Britney, but I know there's something up with Layla's creepy ass. If it's true, she's out. I don't care. She gotta go. I don't know anything about the House of Cards, but I wouldn't say I like the sound of them. Because we got enough problems on our plate as is without some dumbass adding to it. |
Luna.Inoue | |
"TBA" _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Lihn Phan's Session Transcripts - Adora's Reflections on Luna Inoue: [I'll write this after I finish the collab with esty but lemme say they're probably not going to be good] |
Aislin.Rose | |
"She's a wide-eyed idealist... I wish I could say that was a good thing." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Lihn Phan's Session Transcripts - Adora's Reflections on Aislin Rose: I feel bad that I didn't recognize her at first, but its also been ten years since I have seen her. She was a breath of fresh air in the Old Coven... she always acted like nothing fazed her. And I don't mean that in the way; goofballs and annoys just downplayed everything. She was a beacon of hope, kindness, and compassion - one that helped us in our darkest hours. I remember her as Lisa's friend more than anything, so I don't think I interacted with her much. Though I ran into her at the Halloween Festival and reconnected... she's still the same. I'll admit, I look up to Aislin. She's kind. Hopefully, nothing phases her. Something I wish I could be, but I also wonder if she's just a bit too... Peachy? Little Miss Sunshine? I'm not sure if she'll be that useful right now. But, we need her. |
Kenshiro.Murakin | |
"Who?" _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Lihn Phan's Session Transcripts - Adora's Reflections on Kenshiro Murakin: I... vaguely remember him. I remember some Asian guy teaching Lisa some magic. But a few people were teaching Lisa. I've seen how he acted at Kari's house... he's taking her loss hard. I feel some shared sympathy for the guy... ... Yet, I also see a bit of a mirror. And that's not a good thing. |
Ayrin/Aaron.Thorne | |
"Who?" _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Lihn Phan's Session Transcripts - Adora's Reflections on Aryin/Aaron Thorne: Don't remember him... her... but I didn't like she and Linqian were fucking off directly after it was announced someone dead. Like, can you pick any other time to fucking goof off? I got a feeling we'd be better without him... her... damn it. |
Amara.King | |
"I still need to get a feel for you..." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Lihn Phan's Session Transcripts - Adora's Reflections on Amara King: I forgot her... but, she seems like a hard charger. A shot caller. She reached out to not only to ask me where the other rings were but also to help me with Luca. Yet, I need to get a better feel for her before I start depending on her, Doc. Maybe just hangout. |
Bé.Rochefoucauld | |
"Good grief, he's back..." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Lihn Phan's Session Transcripts - Adora's Reflections on Bébé Rochefoucauld: Now, the Old Coven had some real characters... Emily G. Reed, George Nelson, Hagan Rosefey, those rich dickheads, but somehow Bé takes the cake. I mean, he's cute, but I could never look at the condescending bastard without wanting to punch him in the face like he fucking deserved! Like Sloane and Anya, he had this air of being better than everyone else - so you know I feel about dickheads like that. He was ice-cold, didn't give a damn about nobody - I honestly think he was a sociopath, Doc, like for real. I remember when he was being a dick to Lisa and her friends, and I cursed him out right then and there. He just acted like I was just an annoying background noise. Thankfully, I ain't seen him around, which is good because the "reformed" Coven is negative enough as is. Though, if I ever have to deal with Bébé again, it'll be too soon. |
The.Void.Heart | |
"Never trusted Apparitions. You're just as bad as the Stygian Snake." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Lihn Phan's Session Transcripts - Adora's Reflections on The Void Heart: I don't know much about this thing, but from what I heard it was bad news. I always thought that thing was up to no good. Same with its host. Now, the House of Cards is pissed because we sealed a problematic Apparition. It's just another problem on a list of problems. Good grief. |
Lisa.Turner | |
"Please know that I'm so sorry, Lisa. I'm sorry for failing you." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Lihn Phan's Session Transcripts - Adora's Reflections on Lisa Turner: L-Lisa... I can't think about her without getting sad. I can't think about her without thinking about that day. I can't believe that out of all the people that the world could have gone without - it was her that died. I... see her wherever I go. I have nightmares about that day, about what happened to her, and I can't help but wake up, down some alcohol until I can't feel anything else, and then try to push on with my day, doc. I know you said not to do that, but... I... I should maybe talk about Lisa herself and not wallow in self-pity. The gal was always the odd one, obsessed with spiders and other weird stuff. Ah... I remember how she always showed me this weird art, and I freaked out about it the first time, but then, over time, I just shrugged it off. I'm getting off track here; her obsession with spiders was weird but impressive. She knew everything about them - to the point where she modeled her whole magic around spiders. I don't understand how magic works, but the magic she got was a match made in heaven, right, doc? Growing up without any friends is tough as is, but then she was bullied by everyone and their mother. I knew it was because she didn't have the strength to defend herself, and people love weakness. It broke my heart knowing what she was going through. She never caught a break until I came into the picture, Doc; I thought at first I was helping her but realized I grew attached to her... not in that way; I saw her as like the weird-ass little sister I never had but always wanted. She got brought into the Old Coven, and I saw her blossom. I saw that she finally had what she wanted, even though I had to be there to keep assholes that tried to take advantage of her in line, Doc. It was something... from a recluse who was almost bullied to suicide to a warrior. Seeing her riding those spiders into a battle with her two little friends was... adorable. She found her strength. She found her people. She finally found where she was accepted, Doc. And then it was snatched away from her... all because I was stupid. Reckless. Lisa... I had to watch what happened to her. While desperately hoping I can get in there to save her... and by the time I got there, Doc, I... Adora began crying and wiped away her tears. She had seven minutes for herself before she continued. ... I was too late. What hurts the most is that I did so much to help her, only to lose her in the end. Her body... I'm... I'm... let's stop here, Doc. Let's talk about anything else. |
Ella.Brooks | |
"Rest in Peace, Ella. Hopefully, you'll find yourself in a better world than this." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Lihn Phan's Session Transcripts - Adora's Reflections on Ella Brooks: I admit, I always thought Ella was annoying back in the day. She was just a cringy-ass weirdo who watched too much anime for her good. But, despite it all, she was one of Lisa's friends - her best friend. For that, she earned my respect and protection, Doc. I watched over her as I watched over Lisa, even though I didn't feel the same about her as I felt about Lisa. I kept the assholes of her whenever I could, but... then I heard that she got ripped to shreds by Apparitions, and yet I couldn't feel but responsible for it. I should have been there to help her; after all, Doc. She was an annoying weirdo who lived in a fantasy world, but she was just a girl. She had heart, passion, and wanted to help us. She dove head first into danger when she had all the reason - and right - just to run away and save herself. Nobody thinks about it like that, Doc. They focus on what they want to focus on. Lisa was crushed when she heard about her death. She didn't leave her room until the final battle, then Saskia went down... I know you say I should stop, but it was my fault that she died. I should have done more, been better, been faster. |
Saskia.Otten | |
"I'm going to remember them not for their death but the fire that was within them. I think it's still burning somewhere out there..." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Lihn Phan's Session Transcripts - Adora's Reflections on Saskia Otten: Saskia was... something. A fucking weirdo. They always cracked these dry-ass jokes and tried to make light of it. They were a bit like Lisa because they were misunderstood loners who found their people. Then, they found themselves. I never got to know them, only heard second-hand from Lisa... but fate is one cruel bitch, and I found out that they bled to death fighting the Stygian Snake's minions. Everyone likes to say that it was Blackmore's fault, but I was the one that failed Saskia. Lisa was crushed when she heard about their death. ... But Saskia deserved more than my pity. They deserved to be here. |
Kari.Wilson | |
"Kari deserved better than what I gave her." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Lihn Phan's Session Transcripts - Adora's Reflections on Kari Wilson: Kari was... special. Just thinking about her makes me sad. She was a sweet gal. She had a heart of gold and was always there to be a listening ear. She cared, Doc. I saved her and Elsa's life, you know. Back then, she brought a smile to my face more than once. We owed a lot to Kari for finding that damn sword, but she was a friend to me. I know they worked her, but she did it all because she cared about us and knew we were her people, and she didn't want anyone to get hurt. She was one of Lisa's friends, one of her closest. After I left the Old Coven, I ran into Kari at a supermarket... I was honestly caught off guard by it. I tried to go, but she made conversation, gave me her number, and hit me at my house a few times to drop off things like some cake - which was delicious but... No one else from the Old Coven, except Jade, made any attempt to check up on me - but in their defense, I didn't make it easy. And that was the point. I was done with the Old Coven, Doc. I was done with magic. I was done with everything that came with it, Doc. The Old Coven brought up too many bad memories. Even her, and she was sweet. She was a genuinely good person. Kari was trying to be my friend, and she let me know how we were both in the same boat, how we felt about Lisa, and the loss we both felt. She wanted to help me, and I knew it. Yet, I still pushed her away, Doc. I thought it was for my own sake. I couldn't bear to let her see the mess of a person I was, and I thought I was better off alone. Looking back, I made a mistake. I knew she was trying to help me, and if I had just let her in, maybe she would still be around. She deserved it, Doc. She saw past the trainwreck of a person I was, and she was determined to help me even though I didn't want it. Now she's gone... or is she? I was there when her ghost claimed she didn't know us - which is weird. I'm... conflicted. I'm hoping she's not Father Wolf and that she's alive, but Doc, if she is alive... ... Well, we all know this doesn't have a happy ending, doc. |
Trisha.Vanburen | |
"I almost projectile vomited the last time I saw her." _______________________________________________ ................................................................... | Lihn Phan's Session Transcripts - Adora's Reflections on Trisha Vanburen: A spoiled ass brat. She was a liability in the Old Coven, and I'm glad she refused Auri's call. She was a spoiled, insecure brat, and she was obsessed with making it our problem. She always wanted to act like she was better than everyone else, but she was just as broken and lost as everyone else in the Old Coven. Anyone with two brain cells can see that she desperately wants Daddy's love but doesn't get it, so she takes it out on the rest of us. She always projected out instead of in... unfortunately, people were dropping like flies, so we had to tolerate useless idiots like her. I repressed the thought about her for my own sake, but unfortunately, I ran into her miserable ass at the Halloween Festival. And... she's just as bad as ever. She mocked me for losing Lisa - garbage like her shouldn't be allowed even to mutter her name - and I just lost control of myself. I know, Doc... I shouldn't have let her bring me down to her level. And I know that I'm better than her. Again, we should never have to deal with each other ever again. |
[@Punished GN] As promised, Caelea & Rien as NPCs...
One new wolfpack NPC and one new 317 NPC!
Caelea.Baird
26 | Caelea Muireann Baird | She/Her
"Call me cute one more time and I’ll fuck you up so badly you’ll regret being born."
Description:Caelea is someone who’s known violence her whole life.
A mistake born nearly ten years after her older brother in St. Portwell, Caelea was just another mouth to feed in a poor family. She spent her early years experiencing her mom’s heavy mood swings before she ultimately abandoned them when Caelea was five, leaving her dad to support both kids while blaming her for it. She was neglected at best, beaten more often than not over the smallest of things. From a young age she spent her time on the streets - tussling with other kids and learning how to fight (and how to fight dirty). Her only solace was school gymnastics classes, and the ones she was able to attend with money she stole.
Caelea was relatively young when she kindled - a fight that went wrong with a much larger boy at twelve resulting in her blasting him across the street with air. From there she only used her abstraction to fight more, and to beat every piece of shit that thought she made fun of her and thought she was weak. She no longer had to take any shit from her dad, either, because he couldn’t win against her anymore. In school Caelea was viewed as a bully - which she was, but she wasn’t the typical kind picking on nerds and the like. That was boring.
Instead she beat up all the boys that thought they were superior just cause of what they had in their pants, showing them that they weren’t all that great. It was this fighting that led to her making one friend - Hagan Rosefey.
Then the Stygian Snake attacked. At first, Caelea ignored it, beyond finding off the apparitions she came across. She couldn’t care less that other people were dying. But then Hagan was nearly enthralled by it, and was dragged into the Sycamore Tree Coven. It seemed like a fun way to kill time and avoid being at home. Caelea wasn’t well liked in the coven - she was abrasive, standoffish, and a general asshole to everyone else. She started fights with other members almost every day.
So when the Stygian Snake was beaten, Caelea was voted (and chased) out near immediately when she violently fought with multiple members. Quite simply not giving a fuck, Caelea went back to her normal life - skipping school, occasionally attending gymnastic classes and beating people up on the street. Eventually this progressed to a ‘career’ of beating people up for money - first essentially mugging, then for tiny groups in St Portwell. The criminal underworld of St. Portwell was a tough place for a woman to be, but with her abstraction Caelea didn’t lose fights to the Blind and just thrashed anyone who tried something on her. Eventually she joined the Wolf Pack… practically fighting her way in after a confrontation between the group she was with, and the Wolf Pack. Jumping ship was aided by Hagan’s presence in the Wolf Pack. She has been operating in the most violent capacity she can in the group since.
Caelea is tiny at four-eleven with a slight build. She has longer blond hair often tied back, very pale skin and light blue eyes. She’s incredibly flexible thanks to years of gymnastics used to aid her fighting. She often gets mistaken for a child - something that pisses her off to no end. Her appearance may be cute, but her personality is far from it. Caelea is incredibly cold towards other people, caring about very few of them, and harsh. She solves things with her fists and is aggressive to the point of brutality.
Abstraction:
Adept - Red & Purple Lux. Channeler: worn hand wrapsAir Blast: Caelea’s primary spell, she controls air to create powerful blasts of air out of her hands or feet. This has the range of about a foot, but is honed to a high level of power, allowing her to knock over almost any object or person while also causing a lot of damage.
Air Strike: Caelea’s primary spell in fights with the Blind, where she uses air to enhance her strikes by using the air in a field around whatever she uses to attack. This makes her strikes hit much harder, while not appearing much different than normal. This is combined with her Purple-Lux to make her air enhanced attacks super fast, while also being incredibly hard hitting.
Fly: using a combination of her Purple and Red lux, Caelea can launch herself around using air blasts combined with purple lux enhanced movement. This allows her to practically fly through the sky (without actually traditionally flying), get up to places she normally couldn’t, and travel around a battlefield incredibly quickly. It makes her very manoeuvrable and near impossible to pin down.
Crush: Caelea uses her Red and Purple lux to put a large amount of pressure on one person, essentially trying to crush them with an incredibly heavy weight of compressed air combined with telekinetic weight.
Air Burst: Caelea forms a dense shield of air around her and, combined with telekinesis, launches it outwards. This knocks back any objects (and people) coming towards her - being able to stop and propel back even bullets.
Breathlessness: An incredibly brutal spell, and one she doesn’t use often, Caelea can suck the air out of a tiny area around someone’s head to create a vacuum that will cause suffocation. She has to be close to the target to do this, and it has similar effects on her, making it something she only uses if really needed. Rien.Driessan
25 | Marijn “Rien” Elian Driessan | They/Them
"If you're looking for someone who cares, keeping looking. You won't find that here."
Description:Born and raised in the Netherlands, Rien spent their early childhood shifting between foster homes along with their twin sister, Katja. As a result the two were incredibly close - they were practically all they had. Things got easier when they were adopted at ten. Both were incredibly artistic, with Rien leaning towards painting and Katja towards music.
But as they both got older Katja got more sickly, before being diagnosed with a terminal, degenerative illness. At fifteen, just a few weeks after their birthday, she passed away. This caused Rien’s kindling event - suddenly they’d lost the only person that mattered to them, and were thrown into a world of magic they hadn’t known about. Using their black lux Rien desperately tried to find some kind of remnant of Katja… but she’d moved on. A year later, their adoptive parents decided it would be best to get a fresh start, and moved to St. Portwell, USA (just a year after the Stygian Snake’s rampage).
While studying art at university, Rien joined 317. It was a place were they found some solace and understanding. However Rien is generally a detached and uncaring individual, fearing growing attached and losing someone again. They take carefree to the extreme, to the point of seeming to not care about anything. Rien is five-four with dyed hair and multiple piercings. They also have various tattoos - most importantly to them, a treble clef on their chest (above their heart) that curls into a K. Rien acts as 317’s sealer, when the need arises… and when they’re not getting high.
Abstraction:
Adept - Black & Gold Lux. Channeler: an old, fraying friendship bracelet.Rien is a Black and Gold Lux adept who primarily specialises in trapping and sealing Apparitions in paintings, before summoning them back out of the paintings. They have four primary spells.
Seek: Rien can use their painting to hunt down nearby Apparitions. They essentially channel their black lux as they paint, pointing them towards any Apparitions in the nearby area.
Enrapture: Using their black lux, Rien is able to manipulate Apparitions to make them easier to seal. They use the painting they plan to seal the Apparition into for this, luring them towards it and forcing them to be enthralled by it.
Trap: Using their paintings and black lux, Rien has a much easier time sealing Apparitions. This spell enhances their sealing, making it much more likely to succeed. It reduces the size of sigil needed for sealing, allowing them to use smaller canvas even for powerful apparitions.
Pull: Rien pulls a sealed apparition out of the canvas they sealed it in. Using a combination of their Gold and Black lux they’re able to control it to do their bidding. Once they’re done with it, they can easily put it back inside the canvas. They can only summon two apparitions at a time, and to summon another after that they must put one of the active ones back in a painting.Some of the most notable Apparitions that Rien has in their collection of sealed paintings.
Amanita
Description:A small, unassuming Apparition that appears harmless but is actually one of Rien’s strongest. Amanita was one they sealed early on, when they just moved to the States. They are… somewhat attached to this apparition because of it. Rien always carries Amanita’s painting with them, thanks to its surprisingly small size (it can fit in any backpack, or a large front pocket). Amanita is very intelligent and seemingly friendly when talking to Rien… but she definitely harbours some dangerous intentions.
Amanita’s abstraction comes in two parts.
Deadly Spores: Amanita spreads spores in an area around her. These spores can be carried by the wind, and spread naturally. There are three types of spores she can spread - paralytic, toxic and hallucinogenic. The paralytic spores cause paralysis. This starts at the extremities before spreading to the whole body. The toxic spores cause a series of effects the longer they’re inhaled. This starts with delirium before moving to sickness, vomiting, intense pain and thirst, then convulsions, and then death by liver and kidney failure. The hallucinogenic spores cause vivid hallucinations - random and uncontrollable, just like drug induced ones. Emotional fields offer some defence.
Mycelia: Aside from her spores, Amanita can also spread Mycelia out through the ground. These allow her to find anything touching the ground and can be controlled to wrap around things. She can use her mycelia to inject the same toxins as with her spores. The mycelia have to penetrate the skin, but completely bypass emotional fields. This is incredibly potent, and a much more effective and deadly use (speeding up the process greatly) - what truly makes Amanita so dangerous. Panoptes
Description:Panoptes, or Pan as Rien often calls her, is an apparition born upon the death of a controlling, scorned woman who lost everything. Rien sealed her seven years ago, the second strong apparition they sealed after Amanita. She was a malevolent apparition that’s somewhat ‘settled’ down after sealing.
Pan has a powerful psychic and sight based abstraction. She has multiple abilities under this.
Telekinetic Control: The primary part of Pan’s Abstraction, Pan has an incredibly strong form of telekinesis. While its raw power seems weak, it is incredibly well controlled. She can use it to control multiple objects to go in different directions or do different things, to act as if it was a hand and, most devastatingly, to control a human body. This isn’t mind control - the person is completely aware, the control of their body is just taken away from them. Or, she can control just parts of a body. Against blinds, she can do this on a mass scale - against those with emotional fields it is more difficult, but possible with how strong of an apparition she is.
All-Seeing Eyes: She has supernatural eyes all over her hair and body that she can see through. She can psychically “detach” one of her many eyes, sending it a long distance from herself as a form of clairvoyance. She can see through this eye as if it were still attached.
Psychic Beam: Technically part of her all-seeing eyes, Pan can shoot a raw beam of psychic power out of any of her eyes.
Telepathy: Pan has a more rudimentary form of telepathy. She can ‘talk’ with another person in their mind, placing her thoughts into theirs and reading the thoughts directed back to her. There needs to be a specific link formed - someone she’s touched, or knows - for this. The Terror of.The Night
Description:The Terror of the Night, or just Night as Rien tends to call it, is Rien’s strongest apparition and one they only sealed a year ago. He’s an apparition born out of nightmares and the collective fear people have of the night and the dark. He has a powerful, and varied, abstraction. At a base level he is physically very strong with sharp claws and teeth, durable enough to take a lot of magical hits and can fly. He’s large enough that Rien can ride on his back and could easily level a small building.
Night Terrors: The ability that gave him his name, the Terror of the Night can cause mass hallucinatory nightmares. This is most effective at night but can work during the day. It can do this on a wide, “weaker” scale or more targeted - where the more targeted, of up to ten individuals, completely bypasses emotional fields. It forces people to witness their worst nightmare… though it is possible for them to escape.
Night Teleportation: At night, he can teleport long distances. This is enough to get from one end of a city to another… but only at night. It doesn’t work during the day.
Shadow Breath: Like the dragon he looks like, the Terror of the Night can breath out a deadly beam of shadow. This is incredibly cold, freezing anything it hits, while also being life draining. Anyone without an emotional field hit by it will quickly perish, and those with it will suffer greatly. Kludde.
Description:An apparition born of Dutch and Belgium folklore, Kludde was an apparition that Rien captured and sealed just before leaving the Netherlands. He was a malicious, tormenting Apparition who moved through rivers, lived under bridges and pulled unsuspecting Blinds in. He can be one of the harder to control Apparitions, and only listens to Rien when they command him in Dutch.
He has various magical abilities, inspired by the legends about Kludde. In his natural form, he’s a large wolf-like creature with scaled wings. He can fly, but not particularly quickly, but on the ground has supernatural speed. His sharp bear claws and fangs easily rip through non protected flesh. He does have one, strange weakness inspired by the legends: if he sees a handkerchief he has no choice but to carefully rip it apart.
Shapeshifting: Kludde can shapeshift into a few other animals: horses, ravens, snakes, cats, frog, bats and even trees. In these forms he’s still very fast, but has reduced strength.
Weight Increasing: Kludde can increase his weight exponentially at will, from his normal weight to heavy enough to crush someone. His favourite thing is to jump on someone’s back and weigh them down.
Fire Breath: Kludde has a short ranged fire breath, which he can use infrequently. Grash
Description:Grash is a malevolent Apparition that Rien sealed a couple of years ago. It was going on a mash rampage in a small town before they sealed it, and subsequently made it an apparition they could summon. While it has a relatively simple Abstraction, it’s a strong physical fighter.
Grash has supernatural speed, with the ability to form its own body in a variety of different ways. It can lengthen its fingers into incredibly sharp claws, separate its body to avoid getting hit. It can turn into a shadowy mist to move from one place to another very quickly. It’s a strong and formidable foe.
